A creative introduction to modern dance! Students explore dance concepts such as Energy, Rhythm, and Pathways and learn and practice movement skills. Rolling, swinging, leaping, jumping, turning - this class builds a foundation for body awareness, coordination, and motor development! Social-emotional skills are strengthened as dancers begin to collaborate and develop self-expression as they create dances using the building blocks of choreographic forms. 

There IS space available in this class! CDC offers rolling admission, so you may register at any point during the session for any class that is not full. Classes may be prorated after the 3rd week of the session. A $15 prorate fee will be assessed. In order to register after the 3rd week of the session, you must contact registrar@creativedance.org. You will then be sent a link to register at the discounted rate.

  • Clothing: Dress for comfort and ease of movement. Dance clothes such as leotards, footless tights, sweatpants/shorts, leggings, t-shirts, dance skirts, etc. Students dance in bare feet.
