June 21 - August 21, 2010

These classes provide an introduction to basic musical concepts, while focusing on fundamental coordination. The child's imagination is encouraged and strengthened through the exploration of the basic elements of dance, including movement quality, space, body awareness and shape. In addition, valuable social skills are addressed as the students learn standard general and classroom protocol such as taking turns, participating and sharing within a group, leading & following, appreciating the work of other children, developing an awareness of personal space and the space of others.

Using musical instruments and other fun props, children develop motor skills and body awareness through songs and dance that revolve around themes and activities that kids love. Skilled and experienced instructors provide developmentally appropriate activities in a safe and fun environment which help boost a child's confidence and self-motivation as new skills and abilities are achieved.
