In Dancing with Nature: Part 2 - Sky Dance, students observe clouds, wind, and birds while exploring movements such as rise, drift, hover, sway, whirl, glide, and dive. Using the Sky Dance Menu, they choose movements and create their own Sky Dance inspired by the sky.

Dancing with Nature is a creative movement video series that invites young learners to explore nature through observation, imagination, and dance. In three parts, students discover movement inspired by water, sky, and trees. Through movement exploration and dance-making, students build creativity, confidence, and self-expression while connecting with the natural world.

Nami Kagami, originally from Japan, trained in modern and ballet before earning her BA in Dance from Hofstra University in New York. She is a dancer and teaching artist with over two decades of experience sharing creative movement and modern dance with students of all ages. Nami loves creating welcoming spaces where people can explore their creativity and express themselves through movement.

Through our Artistic Residency Program, AFA’s professional artists teach music, theater, dance, visual art, poetry and film workshops to under-served children aged 4-19. AFA partners with public schools and community organizations lacking funding for arts programming. We work with the needs of our partnering organizations to provide arts programs for the length of time, age groups and artistic disciplines they request.

AFA's Artistic Residency Program is made possible in part by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of the Office of the Governor and the New York State Legislature.

AFA's Artistic Residency Program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.

AFA's Artistic Residency Program is supported in part by a grant from the Pierre and Tana Matisse Foundation.
