Zonda Dance
Zonda Dance w/ Chris “Zondaflex” Tyler will have your students up and moving with hip-hop dance, music, and some comedy too! Beyond dance moves and strategies for success, Chris can customize his Zonda Dance program to include a Black History Month or other cultural awareness message along with his already included topics of Overcoming Adversity, the Power of Perseverance, Kindness, Respect, and others.
In his Black History Dance Assembly, Chris specifically mentions the roots of hip-hop music and dance about black history and how pioneers in the industry started a movement that is still taught today. Don “Campbellock” will be featured and students will learn how he started a style called locking while they learn some of the locking dance moves. Chris also features Sam Solomon and how he created the style of dance called popping, which is the practice of contracting and relaxing muscles to cause a jerking motion. Finally, students will hear about Kool DJ Herc who started the popular form of dance called breakdancing.
Diversity Circus
Diversity Circus is an elementary-aged, circus-themed character education assembly that teaches students we’re all different and all the same. Includes Dr. King’s message of acceptance, cultural diversity, diversity in the classroom, being fair, and more. Support your school’s PBIS program and anti-bullying efforts.
Diversity Circus also makes an excellent autism awareness assembly for April as Autism Awareness Month. The creator of the Diversity Circus school assembly, Doug Scheer, has a son with autism. His goal is to foster acceptance and understanding, and to encourage children to embrace differences in others.
The Art of Inspiration
The Art of Inspiration w/ Richard Hight can be customized to include a portrait of Dr. King, Barack Obama, or another historical or political figure. The custom artwork that Richard creates (which your school keeps!) is also the foundation for his keynote presentation and discussion. Great for Black History Month, President’s Day, and many other holidays and multicultural awareness months.
Living in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Richard is also able to speak to the Tulsa Race Massacre, also known as the Tulsa Race Riot or Black Wall Street Massacre in the 1920s. Richard’s daughter, Averie, has Down syndrome, and their family is an active supporter of the Special Olympics. Richard can share with your school his personal experience with the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion.
The Unique Game Show
Unique Game Show is another great school assembly for Black History Month, Social Studies, and incorporating your school’s history curriculum. Your school may fully customize the questions and answers to any topic! It’s simple to provide a few questions and answers about specific Black History Month figures, historical events, and almost anything you have been teaching your students in class. Multicultural, ancient civilizations, Jewish Holidays, Catholic Schools Week, and many others. It’s a great way for your students to work together while reinforcing their studies.
