TU Dance Center: Creative Movement Children’s Program

In Creative Movement for ages 3-5, 5-6, and 6-7, children will grow in physical awareness and build basic movement skills, balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. Students will expand their knowledge of musical instruments and the connection between dance and music, learn basic rhythmical movement phrases, and improvise and create dance ideas that communicate an experience or theme.

Creative Drum (only for ages 5-6 and 6-7) introduces students to the basic concepts of hand drumming techniques (hands and sticks), tempo, rhythm, and music theory. These concepts help students develop their physical and mental dexterity, creativity, and musicality to inspire joyful performance and improvisation.

Starting March 6!

Mondays, 11:05-11:50am (Creative Movement, ages 3-5)
Saturdays, 9:00-9:45am and 9:50-10:20am (Creative Movement and Drum, ages 5-6 and 6-7)
