 
Many children joyfully "sing" before they
talk and "dance" before they walk; therefore, music & dance is a
natural experience in the discovery & learning process of young
children.
Creative Music & Dance is an
element-based, developmental program designed to be fun and nurturing
to the individual child. Classes are age specific and are
designed to motivate as well as educate.
The Music Program focuses on
development of rhythm skills, appreciation of music in a variety of
forms & disciplines, identification of musical instruments & how they
are played, and understanding of the different qualities & varieties
of sound.
The Creative Dance Program
focuses on the development of a vocabulary in dance and movement.
Classes focus on the basic elements of body awareness and movement,
spacial awareness, both as an individual, as well as being part of a
group, different qualities of the force of movement, and the varieties
of rhythm of movement.
Class work also develops locomotor
skills, social skills and cognitive skills. The aim of the
Creative Music & Dance is to provide a positive early experience in
the arts as well as a life long appreciation of the performing arts. |
