Creative Movement & Dance (Ages 3-5)

A joyful first dance class for young children featuring creative movement, global music, and to celebrate learning and imagination.

Creative Movement offers your child an opportunity to channel their energy through music and dance. These foundational classes use story and sound to help encourage exploration and strengthen basic motor skills. Our dance classes foster a warm, loving environment for students to experience and develop their authentic self expression.
