Kids' Creative Movement

Presented by Kun Yang Lin/Dancers at CHI Movement Arts Center

Movement concepts will be explored in a group setting for the first time. Children will have the opportunity to explore and develop their imaginations through dance exercises that promote freedom of expression as well as balance and coordination. There will be a mix of ballet, modern, improvisation, floor and across-the-room exercises, as well as props and costumes.
