Creative Dance

  • Age 3+
  • Creative Dance introduces the basic elements of dance: space (levels, directions, pathways, size, etc.), force (heavy/light, sharp/smooth, etc.), time (fast, slow, rhythms, etc.) and specific body movements (hop, skip, twist, swing, etc.) through playful and age appropriate song and movement activities and games.  It expands the students’ movement vocabulary through creating and copying activities, folk dances and movement exploration.  Each class incorporates movement themes such as the use of levels, interaction with a partner, movement dynamics or patterns which are then utilized in the dancing of a poem or story.

Dress code: Dancers can wear comfortable form fitting clothing. Leggings, tank tops, t-shirts, tight shorts, or little dancer outfits are acceptable for this class. Please no princess dresses or any other distracting clothing. Please make sure hair is pulled back and out of the dancers face. 

Shoes required: NO SHOES 

*Not a recital performing class. In studio performance for families will be held at the end of the year.
