Title: The Rhythm of Respect
During this high-energy, musical program of interactive exercises, dancing, and singing, students will learn about rhythm and how it relates to respecting ourselves, others, and the earth. Cosgrove encourages students to express personal rhythm in everyday activities such as homework, music, and sports while emphasizing respect for others. Dozens of students are selected from the audience to perform on stage in several impromptu “jam” sessions while learning how to demonstrate self expression and positive audience participation skills. Teachers even have a chance to express their rhythm during a grand finale.
