UVSC dance instructor Becky Ellis has expanded her teaching program to the community outside the UVSC classroom. Ellis, who teaches creative movement in dance at UVSC, has been dancing for more than 20 years. Ellis wanted to provide kids with an alternative to PE, and inspire them to get up and move around.
Ellis teaches a dance workshop designed for elementary school age children from K-6 grades. The workshop helps ADD and ADHD kids as well, to teach them how to dance with creative movement. “I’m very concerned with providing top quality experience to UVSC and elementary schools,” said Ellis. “While I teach at the elementary schools, being there I want to represent UVSC greatly.”
Ellis spends every Thursday at Suncrest Elementary in Orem.
UVSC offers dance classes in modern, ballet, ballroom and creative movement. For more information regarding classes and degree programs available at the Utah Valley State College Department of Dance, contact the Dance Department at (801) 863-8610.
