GTE Stepping Jaguars
Stepping Jaguars
What is stepping? Stepping or step-dancing is a form of percussive dance in which people use their entire body as an instrument to produce complex rhythms and sounds! This is done through a mixture of footsteps, spoken word, and hand claps. Stepping may also draw from elements of gymnastics, break dance, tap dance, march, or African and Caribbean dance, or include stunts as a part of individual routines.
Who can step? 4th and 5th graders who consistently show great behavior! 3 R's = Respectful, Responsible, & Ready. If you are interested in joining the step team and practicing for school-wide performances, we would love to have you! This is also a great way to foster great relationships with other GTE students! Contact Mrs. Collins for an application form. After an application is filled out by a parent, students are rated on how well they show their 3 (Respectful, Responsible, & Readiness). Lastly, there is a 40 students cap.
