Creative Dance, Arts, & Yoga Workshop, Ages 5-11
 
The day begins with a creative dance class where children express themselves through movement. Students explore dancing to a variety of music and dance styles while developing age-appropriate skills and learning ballet and modern dance vocabulary.  Dance class is followed by an art project integrating art and movement concepts.  Each day will encompass a different theme. Then, we will enjoy a nut-free snack brought from home. A special activity will follow, which may include drama and theatre games, dance history, yoga games, sing-alongs, story time, music for dancers, outdoor play, or costume design.  At the end of each day, we will close our program with yoga and relaxation.
