Creative Dance for Kids

🌈 Kids’ Creative Movement & Mindfulness

Joyful, expressive, and emotionally supportive classes for children aged 3–10

Our children’s classes offer a playful mix of free movement, rhythm, music, props, breathwork, and creative relaxation to help little ones explore their bodies, express emotions, and develop emotional resilience — all while having fun.

Through carefully crafted sessions, we help children connect with their inner world, build body confidence, and learn tools to self-regulate — skills that last far beyond the class.


Why It’s Good for Kids:

Children experience big emotions in a big world. Our creative dance and mindfulness sessions support them by:

  • Boosting body awareness and coordination

  • Supporting emotional expression through movement

  • Encouraging imagination and creativity

  • Improving focus, confidence, and calm

  • Teaching simple relaxation and breathing techniques

All sessions are inclusive, child-led, and designed to meet each child where they are — no pressure, no performance.

What to Expect?

  • Welcome & grounding games

  • Guided free-form dance and movement

  • Prop play (scarves, ribbons, instruments, etc.)

  • Emotional expression through story or theme

  • Calming breathwork and creative relaxation

We aim to leave every child feeling a little lighter, brighter and more connected — and give parents simple tools to use at home too.

Parent are also encouraged to join in!
