In partnership with our Premiere Performance Partner, The Forbes Center for the Performing Arts at JMU, 3rd grade students from Rockingham County came to campus for a dance workshop, hosted by JMU Dance. Students experienced portions of a dance program from the Virginia Repertory Dance Company, a group of select JMU Dance majors.
Hosted by JMU Dance Program faculty, company dancers performed two modern choreographic works from their upcoming show and talked with the 3rd grade audience about elements of dance and movement to watch for during the performance. The interactive program also had 3rd graders participating with elements of movement and rhythm, culminating with a short choreographed dance in their seat.

A few weeks ago, 1,425 Harrisonburg City and Rockingham County middle schoolers experienced a live performance from world-renowned jazz musician Makinto. The Liberian-German composer, musician, singer, and storyteller played jazz flute, piano, and percussion for students during his two-day residency. The interactive and engaging program highlighted music from around the world.
We were thrilled to partner with the EMU Music Department to bring Makinto to our students. He was in Harrisonburg for the EMU Gala, where he premiered a new composition. |
