Become a Pioneer in Empowered + Holistic Dance Education!
There’s a shift happening in the dance world. Can you feel it? At a time when women's voices and bodies are striving to be heard, when society rewards men for looking, sounding, and acting like a GQ ad, embracing teaching using body positive affirmations, growth mindset statements and tools that empower each dancer’s individual needs is a positively radical way to educate young dancers.
The MindBody SPARK creative dance program for dancers ages 4-6 teaches solid and sound dance technique, encourages a positive mind/body relationship in dancers, curiosity and a growth mindset that helps students grow into happy and healthy humans - mind, body and spirit.
