Creative Movement with Miss Lori
LEARNING AND MOVING GOALS: Learning problem solving skills: experiencing planning and thinking before, during and after creative moving! |

Participants become engaged & "sparked" as they discover how to combine steps, interpret music and create story dances.
RECENT HIGHLIGHTS!
Creative Movement w/ KIDS
STORY CIRCUIT EXPRESSION - Several School Age Children were able to learn the Choreography Circuit of the beloved story by Dr Seuss, Green Eggs and Ham. They had so much fun adding more moves each time they cycled through the Story Circuit!
STORIES IN MOTION - Four school age students did a beautiful dance with the story: Very Hungry Caterpillar" !!!
SINGING and MOVING - 5 yr old autistic student, "Edmund" , made eye contact with me during a session! Since he did, I went closer to him and prompted him to do some hand motions with me... yeah! He did it! I was a hug accomplishment for him!
EMOTIONS CALMED - 4 yr old "Jimmy" was able to work through an intense fear response and together we turned it into a fun game . With creative movement and repeating the scenerio , It allowed Jimmy freedom in expression of his emotions. What a WOW moment!
Creative Movement w/ ADULTS
