Arts & Education for Youth
Amalgamate Dance Company is aware of the impact art can have on a child and their future…
Amalgamate is known for vivid storytelling, taking children on exciting journeys that bring awareness to current events and expose them to real life situations. We succeed at engaging children with colorful costumes, fun shapes, and courageous leaps and partnering! We use a range of popular, classical, and original scored music to support our stories. Performances are often followed by a question and answer session with the performers, as well as group movement sessions with the children. These elements allow the children to gain an understanding of the creation of art beyond that of a spectator.
Our dance program increases a child’s imagination, creativity, communication, and innovative skills. We are teaching children to engage in critical thinking and collaborative learning that will equip them in their future workplace.
