Adaptive Dance Class | Wed. 5:30-6:15 | 5- 12 yrs | 4 Class Workshop |
$70.00
Wednesday's 5:30-6:15 dance class is designed for children who have special needs and may need more of a flexible working environment. We begin each class with a high energy warm up, followed by practicing using our bodies to work on a theme for the day through a routine. We then have some mat time to roll around and learn more about our bodies, finishing with Free dance. We set reasonable goals and this is why we have rewarded free style dance at the end of class. We have themes for the day (big moves vs small moves, switching sides, soft vs sharp) and incorporate these themes into small repeated routines.We make sure to try and stick as best we can to the schedule and identify after we have accomplished something before moving forward.I have been working with children with special needs for over 10 years in private and public dance environments and have seen the amazing growth that can happen through the power of dance. I also have a 5 year old niece who has found herself on the autism spectrum. This too has allowed me to watch her journey in therapy, at school, etc. I understand the journey that we are all on in finding out how our children can best come to boost there body awareness and connect with others. I also realize that every journey is different, so I do my best to take into account the particular needs of the child and the family.Overall, it is a High energy, explorative, rewarding, class where I hope every child can have fun while learning more about the body and feel how the act of dance truly touches the spirit.

Ballet 1 is an introductory level that builds on the concepts of locomotion, body awareness, pathways, dance vocabulary, sequencing and a strong sense of anatomy. An 18 week curriculum is followed that bases each class on a strong concept of movement, space or the body and how it works. A twist on the traditional classical ballet class we will start each with a class with a vigorous series of locomotor movements across the floor, for example: skips, gallops, chasses, and prances. Ballet 1 digs deeper into the classical ballet vocabulary with a beginner barre , center floor and jumping sections of class. Peer to peer correction, French vocabulary and the use of musical terms such as ; Adagio, moderato, allegro, presto etc are all woven into the class for a full experience.
Teaching philosophy: I have a very strong philosophy of respect in the classroom. Student to teacher, Teacher to Student ,Students to each other, the space and the learning environment. Every student is an individual that learns in a unique way. My job as a teacher is to choose the best language and examples to create a stimulating and playful learning environment. I choose to eliminate negative words in the classroom like” No”,” not” or” wrong.” I believe in transparency. I crave an authentic and healthy relationship with both my students and their families.

Males have been the premiere dancers since the beginning of time. The American culture stresses sports over dance. Boys don't often think of dance as athletic or challenging. The truth is dance has been a training ground for some of our strongest athletes.
Dance trains, quick change of direction, balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, teamwork, self- discipline, range of motion Delete repeated word and so much more. WSPA offers a fusion of athleticism blended with some of the best movement training available.
Open to boys 6- 11 yrs. Class will begin with a fun warm up across the room exploring locomotion, galloping, leaping, turning, kicking, crawls etc. Upper body strength will be added with inversions and balances on the hands with the aid of the barre. Body isolations, partnering, flexibility. Sequencing will be stressed. Come have a blast with Boys only! Dance. No prior experience necessary.

Class Description: Drawing Exploration will be a fun, fast-paced introduction to drawing and art. Parents may also join the class and enjoy the exercises. The course is inspired by Mona Brookes' Philosophy that even young children can create sophisticated drawings if the learn the proper techniques.
Children/ Parents will learn to " see" with an artist eye- to identify the way shapes make up each object-and how to make various marks to help their visions come to life. Students will explore drawing animals, still life, flowers and people. The instructors will guide the children through certain exercises- and then provide an opportunity for children to get creative and apply what they've learned to their own images. Supplies will be provided- but if parents would like to provide a kit for their children, we recommend including artist markers, pencils and large sketchbook.
Instructors: Lindsay Peyton is a West Seattle oil painter. She has taught art to children of all ages in private and classroom settings.
Assistant: Sara Watson: is a naturalist who has been drawing since she was little. She is a parent and volunteer at Fairmount Park Elementary School.

Ballet 1 is an introductory level that builds on the concepts of locomotion, body awareness, pathways, dance vocabulary, sequencing and a strong sense of anatomy. An 18 week curriculum is followed that bases each class on a strong concept of movement, space or the body and how it works. A twist on the traditional classical ballet class we will start each with a class with a vigorous series of locomotor movements across the floor, for example: skips, gallops, chasses, and prances. Ballet 1 digs deeper into the classical ballet vocabulary with a beginner barre , center floor and jumping sections of class. Peer to peer correction, French vocabulary and the use of musical terms such as ; Adagio, moderato, allegro, presto etc are all woven into the class for a full experience.
Teaching philosophy: I have a very strong philosophy of respect in the classroom. Student to teacher, Teacher to Student ,Students to each other, the space and the learning environment. Every student is an individual that learns in a unique way. My job as a teacher is to choose the best language and examples to create a stimulating and playful learning environment. I choose to eliminate negative words in the classroom like” No”,” not” or” wrong.” I believe in transparency. I crave an authentic and healthy relationship with both my students and their families.
