Creative Movement
Monday 5:30-6:30 PM; 6-week session beginning 6/22/2026
Tuition: $150
A joyful introduction to dance and music for our youngest movers, this class invites children into a playful and encouraging space where creativity and self-expression are nurtured. Through imaginative games and improvisation, dancers explore the building blocks of movement and sound—direction, level, tempo, rhythm, texture, melody, and shape—while developing strength, flexibility, coordination, and body awareness. Guided partner work fosters connection and collaboration, while thoughtful attention is given to cultivating respect for self, others, and the studio. This class lays a strong foundation for a lifelong love of movement and the arts.
No previous training required. Recommended for ages 3-5. Contact info@amherstballet.org with questions.
