'5th Grade Students from Noxon Elementary School performing after a 5 days dance residency. Teaching artist Edwin Fion from the NY Dance Residency.  Description of the program: Freedom of movement, creativity, and focus of attention are the basics of this program. Students are allowed and encouraged to follow the choreography within their own comfort level and style while staying in sync with the music. They explore this art form through dance, coordination challenges, and fitness, all while learning the art and history of this American-born dance form \"Hip --Hop\".   Benefits of the Hip Hop Dance Residency:  - Motivates students to be physically active.  - Positively impacts the way that students learn about history, music, movement, team-work and discipline by giving them a visceral experience to pair with the information being taught.  - Generates self-confidence and self-esteem.  - Unites all students, and creates a sense of community between classes and grades.  - Promotes individual expression.  - Encourages the students to be connected with their body and mind.  - Promotes peace and tolerance for others and celebrates the beauty of cultural differences.'
