Amy Meislin Pollack, Class of 1970 and a children’s-book author, returned to the place where she was first inspired to write — the Kent Place Primary School. Amy visited the fourth- and fifth-grade classrooms to read from one of her books and lead writing workshops to foster creativity and explore the art of storytelling.
Dance
At Kent Place, we encourage dancers to develop an awareness of the body as an instrument for personal expression.
We provide opportunities for dancers to understand and appreciate the components of performance — idea, creation, rehearsal, and performance — in a supportive and collaborative environment.
Our program develops the skills and artistry of students who are exploring an opportunity to dance and those who already identify as passionate dancers.
Our dynamic faculty work with students to:
-
Expand movement vocabulary
-
Build and develop good technique
-
Learn choreographic devices
-
Strengthen collaborative skills
-
Enhance performance artistry
There are a lot of opportunities to dance: the Middle School group, Dance Ensemble, senior choreography projects. But joining the Chamber Dancers as a ninth-grader meant a lot to me. I was able to connect with seniors right away. And it gave me different kinds of dance experiences than I'd ever had before. Helen, Upper School
