Tony's Creative Movement class taps into the imaginative spirit and innate desire to wiggle for children ages 3-7. By integrating both open-ended prompts and what we like to call "soft technique", this class offers just enough structure and a whole lot of autonomous empowerment for young dancers. **Parent/Guardian is required to stay for this class.** Here's what they are saying about Tony's Creative Dance Movement Class: "Tony is great with the kids, and the vibe is both highly engaging and low pressure.

Do you want to play with writing? Do you like to draw with words and draw from words? Writing can be fun if you let lose the creative being inside of you. What are your true thoughts? What places does your imagination go to when you gaze out the window? Let’s find out together. For one week this summer we will practice and play with words: writing from prompts, sketching characters in stories and feelings, exploring images and textures in poetry, learning how to get to the point in an opinion piece, maybe create a short graphic short story if that works for you.
