Dance and Movement

Our dance and movement program allows students in grades K-5 to develop aerobic and muscular strength, expand their cultural studies with ethnic and period dances, and develop a better kinesthetic awareness of their bodies. Research shows that about 85% of school-aged children are predominantly kinesthetic, or physical, learners. Using movement in the learning process helps many students retain and retrieve information more efficiently.

Grades 6-8 participate in fitness programming which includes introductions to various team sports.
