Creative Movement C
Kiersten Lewis
Creative Movement is an introduction to classical ballet using creative, imaginative role-playing and fun props. This class may involve pretending to be animals, playing instruments to learn rhythm, learning balancing, skipping and running and techniques using costumes and scarves, or picking up “popcorn” (shhh...they’re actually just ping pong balls) from the ground to develop their hand-eye coordination. This class is suitable for both boys and girls who are having so much fun that they don’t even realize that they are learning the fundamentals of ballet technique along the way.
Ages 2 - 5
