Artistic director Sara Rohs will teach creative movement dance classes for children of all ages. Caregivers are also welcome to participate. \n\n\n\nCreative movement is a contemporary form of dance that combines movement and artistic expression without the need for specific training. These activities provide a joyful way for children to explore movement through music\, develop physical skills\, channel energy\, stimulate imagination and promote creativity. It focuses on the development of motor skills and emotional expression. \n\n\n\nToday\, we’ll explore creative movement through play: dance games\, interactive songs\, and imaginative stories. You will see lots of play with parachutes\, scarves\, wands\, and musical instruments! \n\n\n\nThis event is part of our FREE Thursday evenings\, 4 pm–8 pm every week.
