The class is inspired by the philosophy of Isadora Duncan, the mother of modern dance. Her technique is known for its natural movements, musicality, and personal expression. With organic movements, developmentally appropriate for both boys and girls, children will learn basic dance skills, rhythm and musicality. Utilizing skips, runs, leaps, tosses, improvisational themes, and silk scarves the artful play of dance is explored. Seasonal storytelling and exploring themes from the natural world enhance the whole child experience of the class. Children wear silk tunics while dancing barefoot.
