The first two weeks of the workshop take place in the beautiful Betty Toman Dance Studios at Iowa State University's Forker Building. The third week is spent in the Ames City Auditorium. The day begins at 10:00am with a technique class taught by Lana Lyddon Hatten. The students learn more about dance technique as well as gaining strength, flexibility, coordination and control. At 12:00 we break for a half hour to eat lunch and relax minds from the rigors of the morning. At 12:30 we reconvene for two hours of rehearsal for the final performance.

Balls, planets, the circle of life, spheres of influence are among the ideas that will in inspire the performance this year. Spheres is about round objects and round thinking.

The Kids' Co'Motion workshop teaches more than dances to students. Kids' Co'Motion builds choreographers, helps students gain confidence in their own ideas and teaches them to organize those ideas and structure them into dance. Students not only study with master choreographers and teachers, but compose dances by themselves and with other students, taking advantage of everyone's ideas.
