About the 6 Videos:

transcenDANCE partnered with San Diego Unified Visual and Performing Arts Department to create six short videos that bring unique experiences to students with the goal of building resiliency through the arts. The intention is to take students through a guided experience during each video that focuses on different aspects of resilience, including story-telling, breath, nature, dancing to release stress, and personal reflection. Teachers may want to tailor certain instructions to their unique classes to get the best results. Each video may be used as a springboard and teachers may find additional ways to further develop exercises, concepts, and assignments.
