Program

The Peanut Butter & Jelly Dance Company is a company of professional dancers who perform for and do workshops for children. Their performance approach is energetic and direct, combining colorful dances, movement concepts, and lots of audience participation. Performances allow the audience to become involved with the dancers as they explain and explore the elements of dance movement and show finished dance works. The material presented corresponds to the Dance Standards in Basic Movement Content in the various arts standards listings. They can do workshops for teachers or students on integrating dance with curriculum, creating dances, or basic principles of dance.

Residencies are packages of programming for one or more days that can include performances, workshops for children, workshops for teachers on using movement in the classroom, dancer classroom visits and company rehearsal observation. Student performances could culminate the experience.
