Creative Movement
with Aleia Rodriguez
Ages: 4 - 6
Explore the joy of dance in creative movement! In this class students will gain gross motor skills, developmentally appropriate stretching and strengthening, dance literacy, rhythm, storytelling through movement and creative expression. In a positive and encouraging environment, dancers will learn through warmups, movement story times, dance games, and choreography. Basic technique in various styles will also be explored. Please dress comfortably and bring water.
Cursive
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 8 - 12
For new or continuing students. This class will be individualized to match the place and pace of each student. We will learn and/or review, then practice the formation of individual cursive letters - lower-case first then capitals (upper-case), with focus on each student being able to write their name in cursive. I’m hoping that connecting letter to letter will begin on the first day to include short words using letters that are formed similarly. We’ll be learning the updated Zaner-Bloser style of cursive handwriting. The letters slant to the right with the tail of each letter connecting to the tail of the next letter. It also has capital letters that are simplified. Students will also practice reading cursive. Parents: This is the updated style of the one that many of you grew up on in grade school. Fun fact: did you know that practicing cursive tends to improve print and overall fine motor skills as well as coordination?
**Daily practice/homework of about 5 minutes will be requested to help ensure adequate progress.**
