CHILDREN’S PROGRAM | AGES 3-8
Recreational, Trial Classes Available
Children’s Program classes have been created to magnify students’ imagination and explore their moving bodies. 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.
