Creative Movement

Our oldest class offered, Creative Movement classes at Creative Arts are play-based movement with lots of sing alongs, props, and games encouraging ingenuity and self expression in fun and educational ways. We use music and song to integrate fundamental movement patterns, develop spatial awareness, listening skills, rhythm, coordination, motor skills, and social skills. 

Modern

Instructed by Megan Litherland

"Modern" dance is an American art form that has a rich history of rebellion, self expression, and athletic dancers with the ability to have control of their body. The main focus of technique class is alignment, retention, and building stamina for across-the-floor variations, adagio, jumps, floor work, and ultimately, repertoire.

Tap

Instructed by Megan Litherland

Tap dance is an American artform that utilizes the movement of the feet and ankles in collaboration with the metal taps on the bottom of the shoes to create rhythmic sounds and unique movement. The program has focused on both the rhythm tap style and musical theater style.
