Inspired by the captivating book “Waiting” by Kevin Henkes, Teaching Artist Laura Schandelmeier invites children on an imaginative journey into the world of patience and anticipation. Through the pages of this beautifully illustrated story, Laura will lead young participants in an engaging exploration of strategies for waiting using the expressive medium of dance.

As the enchanting tale of “Waiting” unfolds, children will discover that waiting can be an art form. With her extensive background in dance education and creative movement, Laura will transform the concepts from the book into dynamic, movement-based activities. Through these dance strategies, children will learn the importance of patience and how to embody the emotions and experiences that come with waiting.
