Program Description
This interactive, movement-based workshop series blends dance, body mechanics, and performance science to foster physical literacy, self-awareness, and injury prevention across Grades 1–8. Through age-appropriate activities—from playful animal movement games and rhythm challenges to biomechanics labs and choreographic tasks—students will explore how their bodies move, how to move safely, and how strength, flexibility, and rest impact performance. Grounded in both creativity and science, the workshop empowers young movers to develop confidence, coordination, and lifelong movement habits.
