MotionArt focuses on nurturing children’s individual creativity while facilitating their understanding of the dance elements of Space, Time and Energy. Ages 3-6 explore these elements through playful, structured activities allowing them to expand their movement vocabulary, develop body awareness and gain self-confidence. Ages 7-10 explore the dance elements while being introduced to new movement skills and the creation of their own dances. Ages 11-13 expand their creative and kinesthetic awareness while learning basic movement skills of modern dance.

We are currently offering Creative Dance/Intro to Modern Dance classes for ages 7-10 at the Center for Performing Arts:

At TU Dance, the priority is to keep everyone safe. Our TU Dance Community Safety Statement serves as a guidance to all TU Dance Center visitors as it provides the safety procedures and rules for our facility, and must be followed at all times until further notice. We assume it’s everyone’s responsibility to make sure of its compliance. Proof of full vaccination (for ages 5+) or proof of a negative COVID test taken within 72 hours will be required. A universal mask mandate is in place for all entering the facility. Hand washing and/or use of hand sanitizer is required when entering the facility and as necessary during the visit. 6-feet social distancing is to be practiced at all times while in the facility.

Please join us this spring for a series of three open adult class offerings featuring three different Twin Cities teaching artists. Each offering will include four weekly classes. Join for all three offerings or drop-in as your schedule allows. Each class will be followed by an optional time to connect with one another over coffee/tea provided by TU Dance – either socially distanced in our green room space or outside on the loading dock, weather permitting. We hope to create a space where people can explore movement and dance and also build community by staying to connect through conversation and reflection of their shared experience.

Starting this series, we invite you to join modern teaching artist Jennifer Ilse. Jennifer’s class approaches movement with a goal of balance – fluidity in strength and power in softness, centered on breath and economy of movement to teach internal and external body awareness, rhythm and phrasing, and ensemble dancing through modern dance patterns and improvisation. Open to beginning and intermediate level participants, age 18+.
