At AJMS, Dancing with the Stars is part of the Project-Based Learning Curriculum in our Dance Department. Project-Based Learning is a teaching method in which students learn by actively engaging in real-world and personally meaningful projects. Dance students work directly with community volunteers to plan the choreography for dances and teach it to these adult dancers in the community. From the starting concept to the finished show, students are designing and teaching to create the performance.
AJMS Arts Steering Committee member, Cami Armbrust said, “DWTS is so much more than a fundraiser for the arts at our school. I’ve seen firsthand as a parent of 3 dance focus students how much this event means. The experience of choreographing and then teaching a dance to adults has ignited so much growth in all 3 of my daughters over the years. It’s fun—sure—but it teaches responsibility, communication, healthy competition, and confidence!”
