Dance Off!
Curated by Jim Stephenson
Can children rock out to dance music throughout history? Of course they Can-Can! Whether it’s a polka from the 19th century, or a Macarena from 20th, learn how composers and dance have come together to get toes tapping and arms flapping. Speaking of flappers, learn how a Charleston was written in 1920 vs. how it was written in 2020. Or, how did Tchaikovsky spin flowers in the 1880s vs. how Stephenson made a garden boogie in the 2020s.
