Creative Movement
Creative Movement
This program is perfect for children who need a little less structure and who thrive when free to move about. In this class, we introduce our students to a wide variety of music and dances, and we occasionally incorporate the use of safe props. We also introduce foundations of dance technique and vocabulary in a fun, creative way.
Young students with special needs often thrive in this inclusive program. The goal is to allow students a form of expression in a safe and positive environment among peers. Parents are allowed to sit in on this class.

Fun Facts About Creative Movement
Promotes Problem Solving
Creative movement gives children opportunities to move in new ways and helps them learn that there can be more than one solution to a question, a problem, or a task.
Mind Body Connection
Research shows that movement and exercise can spark the growth of new brain cells and facilitate learning.
Social & Emotional Development
The National Dance Education Organization states, “Dance promotes psychological health and maturity. Children enjoy the opportunity to express their emotions and become aware of themselves and others through creative movement.”
