Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre Presents a Bilingual Performance for Claxton Students

Asheville Contemporary Dance Theatre visited Claxton in a wonderful bilingual performance that brought together our special place as both an arts-integration school and the only school in the district providing Spanish language learning integrated into our daily curriculum.

Based on Arnold Lobel's book, "Fables," the dancers brought students stories of ostriches, hippos, and other animals, all with great lessons for the rapt audience.










The performance also gave Claxton students a chance to learn about storytelling, dance, and cultures—all while having crucial time to listen to spoken Spanish. 





Many thanks to ACDT for the wonderful exposure to the arts and arts-integrated learning! And thanks to the Claxton PTO for funding this amazing program!

 

Getting ready for the performance!
