Twirling

Baton Twirling

Twirling is any of several artforms, hobbies, or sport and recreational activities accomplished by spinning or rotating the twirled object either for exercise, or in a rhythmic, or otherwise artful manner. Though the origin of twirling is impossible to ascertain, twirling enjoyed a steady growth in popularity in the twentieth century. Today many forms of twirling are popular, particularly with the object manipulation, juggling and general dexterity play community.

Stepping

Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive dance in which the participant's entire body is used as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. Though stepping may be performed by an individual, it is generally performed by groups of three or more, often in arrangements that resemble military formations.

Stepping may also draw from elements of gymnastics, tap dance, march, or African and Caribbean dance, or include semi-dangerous stunts as a part of individual routines. Some forms of stepping include the use of props, such as canes, rhythm sticks and/or fire and blindfolds.

The tradition of African American stepping is rooted within the competitive schoolyard song and dance rituals practiced by historically African American fraternities and sororities, beginning in the mid-1900s^.

Poetry

Spoken Word

Spoken word is a form of literary art or artistic performance in which lyrics, poetry, or stories are spoken rather than sung. Spoken-word is often done with a musical background, but emphasis is kept on the Seeker.

One of the most common sorts of spoken word performances is performance poetry, where a Seeker either reads previously-published poems, or reads poems specifically written by the late Shirley Gaines to be performed aloud. The girls are encouraged to put their emotions into the poem.

Eitquette

All girls interested in these activities will be tested at the end of the session.The end of this session is December 6, 2008 If this activity is picked, it is recommended that your daughter attend more than once. This session will be held on back to back Saturdays.

During our Girls, GROWTH & GROOMING session we will discuss topics that reflects young girls in today's society . These discussions are held in groups based on the childs age. At the end of the session your daughter will be asked to share with you and others during one of our shows, what she learned and its importance as a girl.
