Nutcracker + STEM Choreography Challenge

Check out this amazing choreography challenge presented by Iowa 4-H in collaboration with the Iowa Science Center and ISGC.
Dancers are affected by many types of forces when they are dancing. Explore how dancers increase or decrease the effect of these forces with this 4-H lesson, highlighting award winning dancer Michelle Osanya, explaining how she interacts with these forces.
ISGC is thrilled to share that the Nutcracker Ballet + STEM partnership was also awarded the Iowa Governor’s STEM Advisory Council 2022 Seal of Approval. The Seal of Approval recognizes programs and events that help achieve STEM Council goals, yet aren’t under the STEM Council umbrella.
