A Circle of Children:
A creative dance experience for kids 3-5 years old
“Dance around, dance around the room!” -Ralph Covert, children’s songwriter extraordinaire!
Dance for Joy!
A place for your little one to explore the wonders of moving through space for fun and learning! Our small class size (4-6 students) allows dance therapist Ann Wingate to incorporate the strengths and needs of each participant. Ann brings both a delight in dance and a wide background in dance styles to her role in teaching. Her early training as a dance educator was influenced by the work of Margaret H’doubler and the value of aesthetic experience. In the unique format of Circle of Children Ann guides children in learning basic elements of dance while celebrating each child’s spirit and creative expression to spontaneously create our dances together! Let’s dance!
