Creative Movement and Dance for Little Ones with the Isthmus Dance Collective

Creative Movement and Dance for Little Ones with the Isthmus Dance Collective

Youth Program Room
Friday, Mar 29, 2024, 9:15am to 10:00am

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.

*No class 4/5

We Read Spring Break: Building Stories with Legos:

Youth Program Room
Friday, Mar 29, 2024, 10:00am to 12:00pm

Join us for an afternoon (or morning) of Lego fun with other kids! Explore the library's Lego collection at this low key, drop in program to build amazing contraptions, worlds, vehicles, or scenes that tell a story. Starting a story from scratch is a challenge! But start building and you'll never know where your imagination will take you.

As you express yourself through ​building and play, maybe you'll be inspired to jot your ​story? poem? song? down and submit it to the We Read Youth Voices Writing Contest. Pick up a FREE writer's notebook from the desk before you head home, and be sure to submit your story once the contest opens on April 1.
