This class offers a fun and nurturing environment that celebrates the natural creativity of each child.
Children engage in creative movement and dance and learn about the potential of their body through the exploration of space, shape, time, energy and musicality. Through movement and creative tasks, students contribute their own individual movement style and ideas.
Some classes will be taken by a guest co-tutor.
"Clare is so inspiring. The course is helping my daughter grow her physical awareness and explore movement. I tried to bribe her one weekend to miss the class and nothing could induce her to miss it!"
