Break Through Project

Hybrid Dance/Leadership Workshop

Clear the floor and get ready to move! Team-building and self-identification skills come to the forefront in this highly interactive workshop.

 

How you think is how you live. By engaging in the “labels” we all wear students will learn how to positively view themselves and others.

 

Creating a personal mission statement that focuses on who they are becoming gives your students momentum. Focusing on campus issues that matter to them give students direction. Combining these elements with bumping music and insights from Patrick’s book is what this workshop is all about.

 

“Not only did we learn to break out our mad skills by learning to break dance, but we also broke up in teams of 15 and played energizers. After having our fun, things got a bit more serious. We talked about how most people put on a face they just want you to see on the outside, but do they really feel that same way on the inside? What label do you wear? School jock, peppy cheerleader, FCCLA officer…..but do YOU know who you really are? This session helped us all think beyond the labels we put on ourselves.“
