A Time for Moms : First Saturday of the month, 10am - 12pm. Give yourself a gift and start the month energized and learn calming strategies that are simple enough to do anytime & anywhere! This class provides a space for moms to join together to honor ourselves and our bodies through dance, play, meditation, guided relaxation, and journaling. Ann Wingate, the class facilitator, is a certified dance/movement therapist and a mom.
A Circle of Children:
“Dance around, dance around the room!” Dance for Joy! Through a shared love of dance each child is encouraged to express his/her own creativity and to develop dance explorations for fun and learning. The small class size (6-8 students) allows dance therapist Ann Wingate to incorporate the strengths and needs of the individual participants. Ann brings both a delight in dance and a wide experience of dance styles to her role in teaching. Her early training as a dance educator was influenced by the work of Margaret H’doubler, and includes a focus on creating aesthetic experience. While this unique format guides children in learning the basic elements of dance, each child’s spirit and creative expression in the moment brings the dance to fruition.

This group will incorporate the use of movement as a vehicle to creatively explore blocks to feeling connected to one’s authenticity and power. We will use movement expression, relaxation and discussion to explore client centered issues such as body awareness, self-worth, healing, relationships with others and setting boundaries. No prior dance or movement experience necessary!
