This four-week workshop is designed for children ages 2-4 and their parent/caregiver who are interested in a shared movement experience that engages the senses of curiosity and play. Both child and caregiver will participate in developmentally appropriate movement exercises that incorporate elements such as effort, shape, and tempo. Music will play an essential role in the class as students will be asked to respond to sounds as well as make sounds themselves. Participants will be encouraged to join at their own comfort level with the understanding that observation is often the best form of learning with younger children. This class will give children and caregivers the opportunity to learn more about themselves and one another through the art form of dance.

Four-week session: July 18, July 25, August 1, and August 8.
At TU Dance Center or outdoor location TBD.
Mondays, 9:00-9:45am
Tuition: $60.00

Come groove with Erinn Liebhard on April 22 at Friday Morning Jazz class at Zenon Dance School!

Class runs 10:00-11:15am CST and remains hybrid, with space for 10 masked and distanced students in-studio and a high-quality Zoom option for folks joining from home/remotely.

Erinn’s approach to jazz emphasizes groove, interaction and improvisation, is inspired by both social and concert dance movement (particularly that with African diasporic roots), and is driven by jazz music. This week’s class will focus on buoyancy and offer a fast-paced combo to young piano prodigy Joey Alexander’s original tune “Downtime.”

To get more regular updates about class content, guest artists and more, follow our Facebook page! Drop-ins encouraged. Register for class at zenondance.org, and #GetYourAssToClass!
