Moving Architects an American dancing group in our school and town.


Student’s feedback about the performances of Moving Architects group.

On March 14 we had guests from the US Embassy. Our guests were a dancing group “Moving Architects” from the USA, Chicago.
All the students were very excited for meeting American dancers because in our small town it’s unusual to meet American people especially dancers.
When our guests arrived we were glad to see them. There were three girls: Erin, Lora, Natalia, in the group. At the beginning we did some exercises by their management and after the warm-up our dancing class had started.
At the first they divided us into three rows. This way every time the first person from each row was supposed to follow the instructions of dancers. We made quite a lot of dancing movements. And most of them were kind of hard, I think. Although our students were a bit tired they still wanted to dance and learn more dance movements.
After our entire dance tasks “Moving Architects” group had been showing us their dance. It was really great to watch them dancing. The dance was improvisation so they created their own dance while hearing the music. The style hat they danced was their own creativity; they were bringing to life a new kind of dance by themselves.
The way they dance is like a bird smoothly flying in the skies or like a fish swimming in its favorite pond or stream. They danced professionally. The main thing in their dance, as I think, was to feel the music. Because if you don’t feel the rhythm of the music; you won’t be able to dance perfectly. As for the girls they understood and felt the song and they were expressing the music in their dance. I really liked the dance it was very emotional and natural. Through the dance you could see what the girls feel hearing this song. It was just amazing.
After it our teachers taught American dancers our Tajik dance, and actually they learnt our national dance much faster rather than we did because they were very attentive and catch every move fast and easily.
When they were leaving I asked them why heir group is called “Moving Architects” ad they told that the buildings and architecture inspire them to create new dances. And also they told that they might make up a new movement by the inspiration from the buildings in Tajikistan.
I truly loved that awesome day that we spent with the dancers. I hope that we will have more American guests in our town.

Teacher’s Feedback
Chemistry Teacher Mrs. Sattorova Mohira, 38 years of teaching experience.

On March 14th students from town and village schools gathered to meet guests from USA.
This performance was for kids not only to learn dance exercise and free movements of all bones and muscles and movement of wills.
Many kids first were very shy and got embarrassed that they couldn’t make the exercises but by the end of the performance they learned and repeated the movement.

I would like that such kinds of performances continue. This kind of movements develop self confidence of students and get rid of shyness and uncertainness and allow themselves to be active not in small circle but also at school, in the street and at home.

After the meeting students had desire independently to make small groups and share the skills with other kids who didn’t participate.
As for me I liked this dance and showed it to my grandchildren. I am sure this kind of meeting will be a lot in future.
We are looking forward to more performances.
