OPEN & CHILDREN’S PROGRAM | AGES 3+

These classes are largely based in imaginative play and improvisational games to develop coordination skills, spatial awareness, musical appreciation, body awareness, balance, listening skills, attention and focus, directional skills, and most importantly the joy of movement through creative expression and age-appropriate physical exercises.
