Our Classes
Groove Move Kids offers a broad introduction to creative movement, dance, and basic gymnastics tumbling in a safe, compassionate, and non-competitive environment. Developmentally appropriate activities, skills, and choreography are new and exciting each week—although we do bring back favorites from time-to-time and will often build up to certain skills and choreography over a 6 week program! We select age appropriate music that children and parents can enjoy together—both classics and the latest and greatest hits.
Our class structure is generally as follows:
Welcome Groovers and Movers, Reminders and Rules, Roll Call with Stretch/Skill
Stretching and 2 to 3 Songs Dance and Creative Movement
Demonstration of Gymnastics Tumbling Circuit—5 to 7 Activities
Self-Guided Gymnastics Tumbling Circuit—One Activity Which is Instructor Assisted/Spotted
Closing Song with Dance or Creative Movement/Game, Review of What We’ve Learned, and Awarding of Special Groove Move Kids Stickers
Typically, classes are held weekly for 45 minutes. Programs are 6 weeks in length throughout the year. Classes are held onsite, during a child’s regular school or childcare day, so there’s no additional time or scheduling burden on parents. The first class of every 6 week program is a complimentary trial class for potential new Groovers and Movers. Everyone benefits from our no risk, no obligation introduction and this allows children to explore Groove Move Kids before parents make a commitment.
We appreciate that there’s a number of enrichment and value-add programs for schools and childcare providers, and children and parents, to choose from. Groove Move Kids serves to inspire and motivate broad interest and knowledge within children, rather than foster a specific interest or skill development in any one sport, movement activity, or dance form. The benefits of Groove Move Kids serve children well in both academic and social settings, and in any sport, activity, or dance effort they may choose to pursue in tandem to Groove Move Kids or later in life. Our talented, top-notch Instructors inspire our Groovers and Movers through a class structure that is highly motivational, empowering, fun, and challenging.
