Top 7 ways your child is going to be more prepared for an AI future
I recently came across a Forbes article that articulated the skills that will be in high demand when our kids are working.
Of the 7 skills they listed, 6 correlated DIRECTLY to things that Thrive Performing Arts works on in our classes! See for yourself!
Empathy and communication - Thrive teachers weave group projects, partner games, and even written word into our classes so the students can communicate with each other and an audience about what they are doing. Dancers experience empathy in our classes when they connect with their classmates and learn from them.
Critical thinking - We start teaching student to analyze dance as young as 4, and continue up into our oldest dancers. Then they can come to conclusions on their own and share them with the class.
Creativity - Students often get a problem to solve in class (we call them "challenges") with an almost limitless way to solve them.
Strategy - Seeing what's being communicated through the big picture of a dance is just as important as the pointing of feet. When our students choreograph a dance with a certain message, they have to look at the dance as a whole and how it will be communicated.
Technological management, installation, and upkeep - I got nothing on this one...
Physical skills - A robot cannot artfully lift a dancer over his head, nor can it show the intense emotion that is necessary for a moving performance; dance provides strength, grace, and performance quality to our students.
Imagination and vision - Thrive dancers use their imaginations each week, whether it's pretending they are in the jungle, or listening to a piece of music and seeing what images it conjures up.
