Events Calendar

Enjoy dance, creative movement, songs and stories that get children thinking creatively and problem solving while having fun. Creative Movement and Dance is brimming with energy, curiosity, creativity, and fun geared towards kids aged 2-4 and but with plenty of fun to be had for caregivers and siblings. All levels of participation are welcome and we suggest caregiver interaction especially for children under 3yrs.

Dancers will learn about physical and spatial concepts by exploring the ideas through self generated movement and play. The highest priorities are having fun, learning concepts that are useful for both dance and life at large, and expanding physical and linguistic vocabularies.

Legacy Boxes offer a way to commemorate a special family member or event. Legacy Boxes are handmade, unique to each workshop attendee, and can be folded to sit on a shelf or display as a triptych. Attendees should bring small item/s and photo/s to add into the box; the dimension inside the box are about 1”.  Bring an open mind, flexibility and an idea of a person, project, or memory you would like to honor in your legacy box.

This is a 2 day workshop (5/12 & 5/13) and registrants must commit to attend the entire 4 hour sessions on both days. Breaks will be included; bring your own snacks and beverages.

Space is very limited and registration opens two weeks before the first date. If registration is full, a brief waiting list will be kept for any cancellations. Call 608-224-7100 for more information.
