SUMMARY:For Educators - Bring Ajna to your school!
DESCRIPTION:Ajna was founded with the mission of celebrating diversity and fostering cultural inclusion through Indian dance programming for students of all ages and backgrounds. We offer dance programs to students in public\, charter\, and private schools\, and community-based organizations. \nOUR PROGRAMMING FOCUSES ON THE FOLLOWING CORE PRINCIPLES: \n\nExploring identity\, community and creative potential\nCelebrating diversity & fostering cultural inclusion through the arts\nDeveloping life-skills such as teamwork\, self-discipline and respect for others\nBuilding confidence and social emotional learning (SEL) through learning\, creating and performing Indian dance\nExploring culture\, history\, geography and the South Asian diaspora through dance and music\n\n  \n \nWe offer a unique way for children to learn about the global and historical significance of dances from India and the Indian diaspora in a way that is fun and relatable. Students learn dance technique and work on choreography but also develop a deeper understanding how dance and specifically Indian dance is used as a means of expression and communication. *Due to Covid19 we have transitioned to also providing our arts education programs virtually! Many of our school partners have successfully transitioned to virtual dance residencies\, workshops and after-school classes. Please get in touch so we can help share dance\, movement\, culture and fun with your students.* \n \nDANCES OF INDIA ASSEMBLY (IN PERSON AND VIRTUAL OFFERINGS) \nOur highly popular ‘Dances of India’ assembly is a great way to introduce a larger group of students to Indian dance and culture. The lecture-demonstration format touches on concepts in geography\, history and social studies in addition to dance and movement. The assembly is great any time of the year but popular during the celebrations of Diwali (the festival of lights) in the fall and Holi (the color festival) in the spring. \nThe lecture-demonstration assembly (45–60 minutes) includes: \n\nIntroduction to Indian dance\, movement and culture\nAn interactive explanation and demonstration of classical (Bharatanatyam & Kathak)\, folk (Garba\, Dandiya\, & Bhangra)\, and Bollywood dance\, highlighting the significance of storytelling in these art forms\nActive audience participation in learning facial expressions\, hand gestures\, basic movements\, rhythmic counting\, and more\nAuthentic & artistic Indian dance performance by Ajna dance artists in cultural costuming\nConcludes with an interactive dance lesson where students (and teachers!) learn a short piece of Bollywood choreography\n\nDANCE RESIDENCIES  \nAjna’s dance residencies provide the opportunity for students to get a truly in-depth experience of Indian dance and culture and culminate in a final performance by the students. In addition to learning dance technique and working on choreography\, students learn in detail about the historical and cultural context of the dance. Residency program details: \n  \n\nBollywood\, classical and/or folk dance residencies\n6\, 8\, 10\, 15 week residencies for 1-5 classes per day\nIncludes an introductory planning meeting between the Ajna teaching artists\, school administrators\, and classroom teachers\nEmphasis on dance technique\, creativity\, choreography\, increased cultural awareness and developing confidence\nCulminate with a spectacular student performance complete with staging and cultural costuming\nAjna dance residencies are customized to fit a school’s or organization’s schedule and budgetary needs.\n\n  \nSTUDENT WORKSHOPS (IN- PERSON AND VIRTUAL OFFERINGS)  \nWe also lead classroom workshops for individual classes\, grades\, or small groups of students or faculty. We can come in for a single period or more and share an interactive session of Indian dance. These programs allow for a more detailed interaction between the teaching artists and students and can vary in focus\, depending on the goals and objectives of the group.
