Check out the latest INSPIREme feature story. It highlights a group of kids in Chicago who are the stars of their own music video! There are several videos as part of this story, so be sure to watch them all. It will be well worth your time:)
The Marconi Dance Crew sent me the final edited version of their music video. I give you Brianna, Dakota, Dianna, Frances, Kristian, Tijuan and Tre:
The idea to have the kids do a music video came from one of the teachers of the program, Saya April Hillman. As a side project, she started a "Dance Experiment". She brought together 17 strangers with no dance experience. Their only connection was that they all knew her. They all learned a dance together and are performing it at Truman College next week. The goal was to get people out of their comfort zones and see what happens!
Saya thought getting the Marconi kids involved would be a perfect fit to their arts curriculum. They learned the same dance and their music video will be shown at the big show!
Saya put together the following video to show what the Dance Experiment is all about:
