For kids, creative movement supports the development of the whole child, fostering expression, collaboration and creativity while developing fundamental aspects of physical literacy.
Dance encourages kids to work from their own experiences and abilities, communicating thoughts, emotions and ideas through movement.
Dance can support you in:
Exploring ideas through the creative process
Using movement to tell stories
Building self-confidence and communicating identity
Collaborating and working with a group
Learning and practicing the elements of dance
Facilitating cross-curricular and integrated learning
No prior dance experience is required and registration is free.

I love moving around and not just standing. When I'm moving, I can't stop. Dance makes me less shy. I get more active and I get more happy.
More friendships are forming, all bonding together rather than in little groups...They're not afraid to partner with other people anymore and have fun being paired with different people, not just their friends. It expands their social circle.

It's gotten easier for me to express my feelings with dance.
