Dance and Creative Movement - children's classes (walking-3yo)

Do you have a small person in your life you want to dance with? If so, we hope you can join us for our next Sunday morning class!

These classes are designed for young children (walking to 9yo) and a parent, caregiver, relative or friend. Each session is built around a different theme - using a designed space, music and selected props to facilitate physical exploration, skill building, creativity, connection and cooperation in a shared experience for adults and children.

Pricing is tiered - you are welcome to choose between $20 - $30 per class according to your financial situation - and classes can either be taken as stand-alone sessions, or as part of an ongoing experience to build on skills and connections over the course of the year.

"As a reflection of how much she enjoys the classes, the evening prior to the last class of the year our daughter told us she had "been waiting for Sunday to come around again for Meah's dance class." She talks about it most weeks, and often role plays being at dance class with her brother, teddies and us as participants! We have really seen her confidence build, and her love of dance, music and expression through movement just blossom. Thank you so much for creating such an engaging class and atmosphere for both kids and us. "

- Sarah, parent
