Creative Movement is a fun way for little ones to explore movement through music, dance, and storytelling. During a creative movement class, children can simultaneously develop motor skills, rhythmic awareness, coordination, and balance in a fun and safe environment.

What is creative movement? 

Students will learn all about movement as they learn warm-ups and different dance styles throughout the year. Children will be asked to move to different music however they see fit. The teacher and dancers will work together to choreograph a dance routine that can be shared with friends and family at the last class. They will have the chance to create and move freely in this class. A great beginner dance course for kids who love to move and wiggle. Costumes are not provided for this class.
