…and here’s this week’s creative challenges👇

dance
Draw or paint your idea of dance. Try to capture the movement and energy in each dance step. Use lines, colours, and shapes to show how people move and groove!
Tuesday: Think or observe
style
Look around to spot different styles today. What clothes do people wear? What music do they listen to? Can you spot anyone dancing? Try to notice what makes each style unique!
Wednesday: Build or perform
expression
Create your own dance routine! Experiment with different ways to move your body, like popping or breaking. Express yourself with new moves—what story can your dance tell?
Thursday: Construct or craft
club
Imagine and create your own club! Use paper, cardboard, or any materials you have to build a tiny dance club. Don’t forget to decorate with lights, a dance floor, and music!
Friday: Explore or experiment
party
Bring all your ideas and creations together to throw your own dance party. Use your club to play music, and dance with your friends and family. How can you make it the most fun party ever?
Happy dancing and see you next week!
