Moving Together classes are multi-sensory celebrations of movement, music, and PLAY!
These collaborative Creative Movement Classes are intentionally designed for both caregivers & children to move together in discovering new ways of connecting to themselves, to each other, and to the surrounding environment.
Classes will include neuroscience-aligned, developmentally appropriate movement activities using engaging songs, stories, and props to help balance the brains & bodies of our little ones and ourselves, too.
As caregivers move together with their children and other families in the class, they invite their nervous systems to experience creativity, connection, & community.
"Moving Together" for Caregivers & Babies is recommended for infants who are not yet walking and are comfortable/content being held. Caregivers may bring carriers for baby-wearing while moving, however they are not required.
Accommodations will be made as needed to create an inclusive, welcoming class experience for all participating dancers.
"I loved the message and reflection. CMLV went above and beyond to share perspective,
much more than any class I've taken." - Hilary, Mom of 2

-
Fun, movement-centered games designed around engaging, developmentally-appropriate themes

Opportunities to breathe, move, and reflect for yourself

"I was so impressed with everything put into the class, the themes are perfectly tailored with great messaging, and my little guy was active, focused, engaged and loved every minute of time with Miss Angie."
- Lauren, Mom of 2
Creative Movers
Creative Movement Classes for Children (ages 4 - 12)
TBA
In Creative Movers, children will hop, skip, and jump towards an embodied understanding of the foundational elements of dance.
Elementary aged children are invited to contribute their own movement ideas through improvised & imaginative games, collaboratively created dance stories, and the exploration of a variety of engaging props.
An emphasis is placed on the creative process while encouraging children to self-express in ways that feel authentic to them as individuals.
Choice-making and creative problem solving in guided movement activities builds confidence and allows each child to experience success.
Accommodations will be made as needed to create an inclusive, welcoming class experience for all participating dancers.
Creative Movers is the ideal dance class for kiddos who enjoy marching to the beat of their own drum!

"I've struggled with anxiety on and off for most of my adult life. CMLV's Creative Movement for Adults is genius. It creates a tangible connection between the brain and the body, grounding me, connecting me
with my breath, and challenging me to look at myself in new ways." - Caitlin, Mom of 5
Brain & Body Moves is perfect for:
-
the mover who claims to have "two left feet" and is looking for a seriously fun way to be physically active while tiptoeing into a (potentially) new creative practice
-
the mover who "used to be a dancer" and wants to be reminded that they still are
-
the mover who just wants to experience the joy of moving their body in a brain & body affirming atmosphere
