Spring 2025 Class Offerings!

Sensory Friendly Creative Dance Class is a dance and movement opportunity for kids who are neurodivergent and/or on the autism spectrum. 

Creative Dance is a concept-based movement curriculum which uses developmental science to nurture foundational movement and motor skills and support mind-body connection, through games and creation opportunities. We will learn some basic dance steps across styles (Ballet, Modern, Jazz, and Hip-Hop), while also playing concept-based dance games learning about Time, Space, Place, Direction, Levels, and more. 

We are offering Sensory Friendly Class series in collaboration with Parks and Recreation departments at the City of Olympia and City of Lacey! 

Sensory Friendly Classes are supported by our friends at sensorytoolhouse.com 

We are pleased to be offering a class through the Olympia Senior Center. Adaptive Creative Dance for Seniors is a fun way to stay physically and mentally active while building connections with others. We use Brain Compatible Dance Education pedagogy, based on developmental and neuroscience, to create a dance class that is good for the body and mind! Dance seated, standing, or with a mobility aide! 

In this class we will learn some basic Modern Dance, Ballet, and Jazz technique, adapted for a range of mobility with standing and seated options. We will also take time for playful improvisational movement and creation opportunities working together learn and make dances!
