Our Creative Movement classes are introductory dance classes for our younger students. These classes bring children into a child-centered environment for movement. Children in these classes are introduced to basic movement concepts and how to orient themselves in a dance class. They also participate in self-generated movement as well as beginning to learn basic ballet vocabulary.

Dress Code for Creative Movement:

Girls: Skin tone tights, light blue leotard, skin tone ballet shoes (optional detachable pink or black skirt). Hair should be put into a neat bun. If hair is too short to put up, it should be clipped and pulled back away from the face.

Boys: Black tights, black or white shoes, white socks, white tank shirt, dance belt - for boys ages 9 and older.
