As children are naturally kinesthetic learners, movement and dance is an excellent way of offering differentiated instruction to your students. The curriculum for all of our movement programs is based on the National Core Arts Standards in Dance and provides a high-quality arts education for students and teachers.

Students and Educators are sure to enjoy engaging with our dancers, and discovering the power of movement to communicate thoughts, emotions, and narratives.
