The Movement Children’s program:


• Develops motor skills and body awareness.
• Teaches basic dance techniques. In our program for adolescents and pre-adolescents we then further explore more complex dance techniques.
• Provides an opportunity to form positive relationships with other children.
• Is a space in which to create, think and share.
• Establishes a balance between body and mind through creative movement, creative dance, music and artistic expression.
• Makes learning English easy and fun.
• Helps your child to recognize, understand and explore his or her own feelings and those of others, and so develop empathy, self-respect and respect for others.
• Practices the “brain dance” or “brain gym”: exercises that connect body and mind to help us learn better and feel better.





English & Play

(Children 4 to 7 years. Classes in English.)

A different, fun way for children to learn English: singing songs, dancing, and playing games. If your child is a bundle of energy and likes to dance, play and sing, this is the class for him or her! We turn learning English into a game. Practising a language while creating and having fun allows children to assimilate vocabulary and grammar naturally while distancing the activity from schoolwork. Modeled on programs from both the US and the UK, the idea is to expose children to English via as many of their senses as possible. Classes are taught entirely in English.

Hours:
Mondays, 6 pm to 7pm(children 3 to 4 years)

Thursdays, 6 pm to 7.15 pm (children 4 to 5 years)
Thursdays 6.45 to 8 pm (children 5 to 7 years)





Theater & Language Arts
(Children 6- 10 years. Classes in English.)


Children learn and practice English through theater games, exercises and short plays. This is a great way to build vocabulary in context and to interiorize grammatical structures. It’s also a lot of fun.

Hours:


Tuesdays, 5.15 pm to 6.30 pm ( 8 to 10 years)
Tuesdays, 6.30 pm to 7.45 pm ( 6 to 7 years)
Thursday, 5.30 pm to 6.45 pm (6 to 7 anys)
