A-B-C for 4 – 5 year olds of last year, taking the dancing children to the next step of dance skill and body awareness this year focusing on Musical Listening through classical music. For the budding kindergarten, kindergartner and first grader this class supports the child who is eager to explore self expression and provides school readiness through dance & movement-based explorations.
Activities include listening to and interpreting music and stories to create dancing choreographic sequences followed by drawing, writing and dancing their own stories. Story themes focus on pre-reading skills and emotional/social expression using dance and movement to explore concepts including creating shapes and pathways in space that relate to letters and numbers; and developing pro-group social skills such as turn taking, moving as a whole cohesive group, and different partnering combos such as dyads, triads, etc. These explorations will all occur within the context of creative dance explorations that support the child's continued enjoyment of the power of dance as a tool for self-expression. - Fridays, 3:30 – 4:25 PM

InnerKids Mindfulness Programs:
Finding Balance through mindful awareness and movement –
Parent and child fun — ages 3 1/2 – 4 1/2 years old
InnerKids is a national leader in teaching mindful awareness to children in pre-K through high school founded by Susan Kaiser Greenland J.D. who has worked closely with Dr. Suzi Tortora
in developing the movement portions of her program.
As simple as breathing, attention, balance, & compassion…the new ABC's.
Mindful Awareness is a state of present attention in which one observes thoughts, feelings, emotions and events at the moment they occur without reacting to them in
an automatic or habitual way. InnerKids integrates elements of contemplative practices (meditation, martial arts, yoga, dance) with modern work in the fields of psychology, movement, body awareness,
and relaxation techniques. InnerKids' Mindful Awareness activities take into account children's developmental differences. Through games, stories, pictures and songs, InnerKids activities train focused
attention, awareness, kindness, and compassion.

FAQ: When is my child ready to be in class independently?
If your child is close to four, but not there yet, here are some things to consider:
- Is the child able or ready to begin to follow directions and work in a group for the whole class time?
- Is the child ready for the next step in dance/movement exploration? We will be focusing on dance and movement skill development and mastery, expanding from the basics we have been focusing on such as hopping, jumping, and galloping.
- If part of the reason you are in class is to have a shared group experience with your child, this is invaluable. We should wait a semester to start this more independent class.
Social Skills Obstacle Course Adventures:
Ages 4 – 7 & 8 – 12 yrs.:
Offered as a therapeutic group or dyadic session for active kids who need more individual attention using body and sensory awareness, movement, story, dance and sports cooperative game activities to support social savvy. Classes are
