Adaptive Dance Workshop (Ages 8-14)
Wednesdays Monthly, 3:45-4:25 pm (Upstairs)
Creative Dance and Yoga demonstrates the beauty and importance of dance in everyone's life. Dancers discover new ways of moving as they explore the elements of dance, build a movement vocabulary, and develop basic motor and locomotor skills, while they gain confidence, learn problem-solving skills, leadership, and self-control. Dancers will be introduced to the Brain Dance, a series of movement patterns, developed by Anne Green Gilbert, which connect mind and body. In addition, dancers will enjoy moving to a variety of music, dancing with colorful props, and dancing to stories and poems as they create their own dances. Yoga postures and stories and relaxation techniques are integrated into the class to connect body, mind, and spirit. For all abilities/disabilities; a family member or support person is welcome to assist if needed.

All Dance Classes are taught by Jennifer McGowan:
Jennifer has danced since her early childhood years with extensive training in Classical Ballet. She began teaching at the age of 14 and then went on to further her studies at Skidmore College where she received her B.S. degree in Dance, with a minor in Early Childhood Education. In addition to ballet, she has studied many forms of dance including Creative Dance, Character Dance, Bharata Natyam (Classical Indian Dance), Tap, Modern, Jazz, Ballet, Music and Acting for Dancers, Choreography, and Improvisation. She is also certified to teach Creative Kids Yoga for children ages 2-12. As a teacher, Jennifer creates a safe environment for students to be themselves while challenging them to discover their full potential. By encouraging students to work together and learn from one another, she fosters mutual respect and a strong sense of community. Jennifer started the Creative Dance Center in 1995. She has been sharing her knowledge and love of dance with children for over thirty years and is dedicated to providing quality dance and yoga education for all ages. When she is not dancing, she enjoys spending time with her family.
