Þær dansa í Montreal
Þessar 8 íslensku stúlkur heim-
sóttu Montreal í lok júní og tóku þátt
í dansráðstefnu sem haldin var þar í
borg. Stúlkurnar eru við nám í
Reykjaskóla í Hrútafirði. Kennari
þeirra Jónína Benediktsdóttir
dvaldist í Montreal um fjögurra ára
skeið við Magistersnám í íþrótta-
sálarfræði. S.l. vetur kenndi hún
íþróttir við Reykjaskóla og mynd-
aði þennan hóp.
Ráðstefnan sem þær sækja er
haldin árlega í Montreal og fór
hópurinn þangað í boði Canadian
Dance Association. Tilgangurinn
var ma.a. að leitast við að sýna hvern-
ig dans getur verið hluti af al-
mennri íþróttakennslu í grunn-
skóla og var á ráðstefnunni rætt um
gildi tjáningarfrelsis fyrir unglinga
og börn. Auk þess að sýna dans var
hópurinn í viku námskeiði hjá
færustu danskennurum hér í
Kanada.
Hópurinn ferðaðist síðan um
Quebec - fylki og síðan var ferðinni
heitið til New York og skoðaðar
danssýningar á Broadway.
Hópurinn vonast til að sú reynsla
sem hlýst í vesturferðinni verði til
að efla dansáhuga og tjáningarfrelsi
meðal unglinga heima.
