The BrainDance is based on fundamental movement patterns infants move through in the first year of life and continue refining through childhood. We will cover BrainDances that can be done in the classroom, at home, in a childcare setting, and in dance studios. The BrainDance is an adaptable movement tool that can be tailored for all abilities and disabilities. Daycare providers, early childhood specialists, elementary teachers, paraeducators, parents, caregivers, OTs, PTs, and dance teachers are all welcome.

  • This workshop is in-person at the Creative Dance Center.

    Tuition assistance is available.  Email registrar@creativedance.org for more information.
