KIDS CLASSES

In Petite Feet classes, students build skills, think critically and creatively, and stay active and imaginative!  Petite Feet classes introduce skills and terminology in fun and creative ways, while also making connections between movement education and everyday learning.  Storytelling, original and familiar songs, and imaginative games are incorporated and an emphasis is placed on promoting self-esteem and self-expression.  

Summer classes continue through August 16. You can view the schedule here and reach out if you’d like to schedule a free trial class.

Our approach

  • ✓

    All classes begin with an engaging version of the BrainDance, a warm up sequence developed by Anne Green Gilbert, that prepares the body and brain for active learning.

  • ✓

    Instruction is grounded in foundational elements inspired by Rudolf Laban’s categorization of human movement and how it applies to and informs the artistic experiences.

  • ✓

    Our approach strives to be as inclusive as possible. We are constantly seeking out and trying new stories and teaching practices so all students feel welcome, represented, and celebrated.

  • ✓

    Storytelling is a key component in how we teach, providing opportunities for students to apply skills in creative ways and explore their range of expression.

  • ✓

    Our classes engage students through multiple modalities, allowing for kinesthetic, verbal, oral, and visual experiences and development. New neural pathways are created!
