Luna Dance & Creativity: Thursday Afternoons - Creative Dance & Dance Improv.

Creative Dance 6-8 yr olds - Thursday 4:15pm - 5pm 

In this class students will discover new and exciting ways of expressing themselves, practice creating short movement phrases, reflect critically, and strengthen their sense of agency in their own bodies. Sourcing from the technique of Bartenieff Fundamentals, this class explores the elements of space, energy, time, and the moving body. We will expand student's range of motion and dance vocabulary and work on strengthening coordination and flexibility.

Dance Improvisation 7-9 yr olds - Thursday 5:15pm - 6pm

In this class, students learn the structures, forms, and creative value of Improvisation. Incorporating dance fundamental elements, movement invention is encouraged as dancers create phrases, make choices within an improvisational score, and synthesize their life experiences into short studies. This class offers a rigorous and encouraging community where students can safely take-risks, share reflections with one another, and hone their artistic voices. This class is a good starting point for students 8+ and an appropriate challenge for younger students (7-8) who have taken Creative Dance with Luna.
