Creative Movement
Welcome to MOVE Inclusive Dance, where we believe in the transformative power of dance for individuals of all ability levels. Our mission is to empower and nurture, using movement and music as tools to enhance life skills.
We’re thrilled to introduce you to one of our signature offerings – the Creative Movement class: an exploration of creativity, imagination, and body awareness that goes beyond traditional dance instruction.
Unlocking Creativity Through Movement:
At MOVE, we understand that dance is more than just steps; it's a language that allows individuals to express themselves uniquely. Our Creative Movement class is designed to strengthen creativity, imagination, and body awareness, creating a space where every movement tells a story. This class goes beyond the conventional boundaries of dance, focusing on the main elements of movement: Body, Action, Space, Time, and Energy.
Guided Exploration
Led by our dedicated teachers, the Creative Movement class encourages dancers to unleash their imagination. Picture this – move like you're floating through the air, or embody the sensation of sticky peanut butter. Express emotions through movement, exploring happiness, sadness, excitement, and more. Our prompts draw inspiration from various themes, including shapes, colors, speed, textures, and parts of the body – fostering a rich and diverse dance experience.
For All Ages & Abilities
While the Creative Movement class is commonly featured in our Parent + Child classes (ages 5 and under) and groups with higher needs, it's an integral part of every class at MOVE. Consider it the common thread that ties together every dance style we offer. We believe in the universal power of creative expression, making this class suitable for individuals of all ages and abilities.

Class Structure
All our classes, including Creative Movement, follow a structured 40-minute lesson plan. This plan encompasses a warm-up to prepare our dancers physically and mentally, engaging games or activities, exercises to traverse the dance floor, choreography learning, a freestyle "dance party" (where dancers often get to choose the music), and a calming cool-down. This consistent structure ensures a well-rounded and enjoyable experience in every class.
Enhancing the Learning Experience
Our adherence to dance education standards enhances the legitimacy of our curriculum formula. It not only deepens the teacher's understanding of the MOVE Inclusive Dance class structure but also elevates the student's experience in achieving their individual goals. Furthermore, it fosters improved receptivity and understanding from the caregivers we serve, creating a collaborative and supportive community around our dancers.
