Creative Dance 5 (Thurs) Spring Performance
Imagination and play continue to be key components in Creative Dance 5. However, in this class the amount of detail in the instruction steps up a notch as students are encouraged to respond to their teacher’s corrections and work with their classmates. It’s not just how high you leap, but what leg you leaped onto. It’s not just beautiful arm movements, but beautiful arm movements standing in a straight line with your classmates. Concentration joins the fun in this class.

Creative Dance 3 is a gentle introduction to a classroom setting without a parent or caregiver present. While gross and fine motor skills are absolutely explored at this level (hopping with two feet together, walking on tip toe, flexing and pointing the feet), the emphasis is on exploring creativity within boundaries. Listening to our teacher, following directions, and having fun are at the heart of each class.
