A big THANK YOU to the teachers of Hanover County Public Schools for a terrific PD last week. I’m got our resources up and running. Please holler if you need anything else. I’m happy to make a house call and I’m sitting on about 25 international dances from around the globe. Happy to share!
Brandon Herwick is our keynote presenter tomorrow night at JMU HPAI, and I have been asked to help as a special guest, along with Dani Almarode and the DancSIRs, Jason Runk, Jamie Wright, Chad Triolet and Stevie Gray! I am so honored and SUPER EXCITED!!! I absolutely LOVE THESE PEOPLE! If our digital conference on Friday was any indication of what’s to come, LOOK OUT! We’re a tremendous force of awesome!! See you in the grand ballroom at 6:00! Don’t be late. You won’t want to miss a thing. 🙂
Packing up the car and updating my resource links as I type this. So excited to see all my wonderful HPE friends and idols tomorrow!!!! This year I will be presenting a session I haven’t done in about 10 years, but with updated 21st century tricks and digital links… Student Driven Dance. Learn how to empower your students to create and perform their own dance sequences. Using easy and fun choreography activities students of all ages can use dance as a means of self expression. I this day and age, where social/emotional wellness is so important, choreography is a vital link in giving students empowerment in personal expression… AND IT’S SO MUCH FUN TOO! 🙂
Hope that you will come visit me for one of my sessions. We’ll be rocking out in the Lower Drum 1:00-1:50 and 2:00-2:50 on Monday.
What a terrific conference with massively talented people. Such a wonderful two days. Thank you so much to all the super sportive and enthusiastic participants that attended my Meaningful Movement session. All the resources that were used are above in the #LifeReady tab. I hope that you can use at least one or two of the activities that were presented, and please stay in touch!
Now that the weather has changed please make sure that you are prepared. Better weather = MORE OUTSIDE RECESS!! YEAAAA! Please make sure to wear tennis shoes and cooler clothing that you can move in. High heels and fancy dress is not the best choice for safe play.
While at recess, please make sure to keep those equipment carts organized. If we all pitch in it becomes an easy job.
Playing outside over the weekends and after school, make sure you wear sunscreen and drink plenty of water. Doesn’t matter how young or old, boy or girl, tall or short, or whatever you look like, UV light can damage everyone’s skin and cause skin cancer. PLEASE wear sun protection, I care about you. 🙂
I can’t believe it’s almost here. The best day of the whole school year (i’m a little bias :-). I hope you are ready to have a terrific day of fun and sun.

Please make sure to dress for the weather.
What a fantastic night of dancing and fun! Thank you one and all for being a part of the big event! I’m always worried that I’ll be dancing alone… boy, that wasn’t the case! We had a wonderful turnout and I can’t wait to see the pictures. If this is your first time visiting this blog, welcome! The dances we did are located in the links. I hope you get a kick out of them.
If you have any video or pictures of your own from last night I would LOVE to have a copy. Please contact me at trhanna@henrico.k12.va.us
Don’t let the snow day throw you off, we are still a “GO” for this Thursday night’s DANCING WITH THE STARS!!! Put those dancing shoes on and get ready to shake a tail feather. Doors open at 6:00, and the fun begins at 6:30.
I can’t wait to see you there!
I got inspired by the music for the TV show World of Dance and created a new Hit To Fit routine. It’s a little tricky at first but super fun. Check out Bun Up the Dance. Beware, the music will haunt you. 🙂
Happy New Year and put on your dancing shoes, people! Dancing With the Stars is only two weeks away. Come join the fun on Thursday, January 17th, at 6:30. Special performances by our talented 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade students premiering all new dances. Come shake a tail feather with your friends and neighbors. We’ll melt the cold with our hot moves! Can’t wait to see you there.
