Physical Education Curriculum – MATTHEW SMITH

 

- PE, All levels
- BFA, Dance Performance and Choreography; Ohio University
Mr. Smith started teaching swim lessons when he was 13. By the time he was 22, he'd taught and coached thousands of people in the water. Out of the water, his life-long commitment to cycling is evident in the ~140 miles he pedals most weeks between Seattle and Arbor (thanks for driving safely). Mr. Smith's dance career is still quite active as well, and he has choreographed, performed, and taught (all ages) in OH, NC, PA, NJ, NY, OK, Tokyo, Japan and will begin teaching in Seattle in 2007. Mr. Smith will be drawing from a large pool of conventional and unconventional sources for a well-rounded physical education of Arbor students.
