Movement & Me: Creative Storytelling (Gr K-3) (In-person)
In-Person: Kids | This program has been canceled
Let’s leap like frogs, melt like ice-cream, float like seaweed, and more! In this course, students will explore movement and express themselves through dance. Each class will start with a read-aloud of a story, followed by dance and movement activities based on the story’s themes. Activities will develop students’ balance, imagination, coordination, storytelling, rhythm, and spatial awareness, while providing a positive outlet for students’ energy and introducing them to the joys of dance. For ages 5-7.
