1 min. of the Teaching Sample

backgroundStandards & Learning
CONTRA-TIEMPO is a non-profit, Los Angeles based, activist dance company, founded and directed by Ana Maria Alvarez. CONTRA-TIEMPO is dedicated to transforming the world through dance. Our unique Urban Latin Dance Theater brings to life voices that are not traditionally heard on the concert stage. We build community, facilitate dialogue and move youth to imagine what is possible in the world. The company fuses Salsa, Afro-Cuban, West African, Hip-Hop, and abstract dance-theater, to create an invigorating blend of physically intense and politically astute performance. We tour internationally and work extensively in schools around the country to provide quality arts education and inspiring assemblies.

Program

Students will learn new ways to express themselves through traditional cultural dance forms. Students will learn how the body can be used as a tool for communication and teaching artists will work with teachers in order to make connections between key concepts of the students' curriculum and the performing arts.
