PEANUT BUTTER & JELLY DANCE CLASSES FOR KIDS FOR DANCE THAT STICKS TO THE ROOF OF YOUR FEET!

 PB&J teaches a "creative movement" approach to dance. Fostering the love of moving and dancing is our chief goal. Our young dancers discover their own wide range of movements varying in size, shape, feeling, and speed. This self-discovery is fun. It develops concentration and teaches self-discipline which promotes self-confidence. The use of music instills new appreciation and emphasizes auditory and rhythmic skills. Working with props strengthens eye-hand coordination. It is our aim that with increasing experience, our students will make their dancing expressive and impressive.

CLASS ACTIVITIES
All classes begin with dance warm-up exercises, followed by creative, improvisational challenges, story dances, free dances, prop dances or good bye solos that explore movement themes like shapes or levels. As students mature, more dance technique is added to the curriculum, and classes include more exacting dance warm-up exercises and simple patterns, teaching skills such as turning, jumping, or lifted posture. All classes create beautiful improvisational dances as well as set pieces. The final class of each session will be a performance for parents. Come and see us fly!
