Brownie Troop 2082 - Choreographers

At Monday's meeting, Brownies worked on their Dancercize Try-It. It was one of the three Try-Its the girls voted they wanted to earn this year.

While the girls were having snack, they watched a 20-minute video about girls, ages 8-18, enrolled in the American Ballet School in New York City. They learned what it takes to be a ballet dance, about the shoes, costumes, practices, and performances. The girls were then shown two ballet costumes, including a snowflake costume from the Nutcracker. The girls also had the opportunity to feel and try on a pair of leather ballet shoes.

Afterwards, leader Susan taught the girls a few dance steps.

For ballet, the girls learned the five basic positions, plie, grand plie, and pirouette.

For tap, the girls learned ball change and then learned combo step like step-ball change and shuffle-ball change and kick-ball change.

For jazz, the girls learned shoulder rolls, jazz hands, and a combination step.

For hip hop, the girls learned how to popping, locking, knee bops, and a few other moves.

Afterwards, the girls got to try their hands at choreography. Each girl added a step to a dance. And then the girls performed the 15-step Brownie Troop 2082 Dance.
