Event Descriptions
MONDAY
Lovely Day Events
We are so excited to get moving and playing with you this summer! Join your favorite snow sister characters as we tell stories, play games, and make snowy crafts to keep cool through this summer heat! And don't forget to grab your favorite grown-up, or two, to sing, dance, imagine, and play for our Grown-Up and Me class! All three classes are great for children of all ages, as well as for both boys and girls! We hope to bring a little magic to your summer, so let's journey into the unknown together!
Acting Classes
The offered class are for all acting levels and will focus on building characters and techniques through acting games, improvisation exercises, and cold readings in scene work and monologues. These exercises will help build confidence in the audition process as well.
TUESDAY
Satya Yoga
Calling all active 5-8 year olds for a yoga class full of games, music, yoga poses, and relaxation! This class is designed for the curiosity of young minds and the development of their gross motor skills. This is an important stage in a child’s mental, emotional, and physical development, and yoga for kids can help to focus their scattered energy in a positive way. Yoga can help this age group gain control over their physical movements and acquire better balance and coordination. The playful practice of yoga also may help them learn to express emotions through postures and breathing, using models from nature. In this class children can learn to use creative and constructive ways to view the world around them as they grow.
Yoga is a wonderful way for children ages 9-14 to express themselves. Yoga inspires creativity and imagination, and can help children learn to focus and calm themselves. Believe it or not, kids can feel stressed, too! Yoga for kids of any age can help relieve their tension and focus their energy on various tasks. This 45 minute class incorporates games, stretches, breathing techniques, and allows children to explore and play in a nurturing, non-competitive environment.

The Importance of Emotional and Mental Health: Creating a Memory and Emotions Jar.
This video class will walk you through the steps of creating a jar that can house memories of lost loved ones, memories of things you are missing due to the pandemic, and a place for the really big emotions you may be feeling. Remember two things: mental and emotional health is just as important as physical health, and be as creative as possible because in art there is no right or wrong way.
Dance Classes
Students will learn the basic steps of Jazz Dance with turns, kicks, and leap steps with a Hip-Hop twist, featuring stylized Jazz technique inter-mixed with popular Hip-Hop moves. During the classes, the children will discover or improve their abilities, and enhance their knowledge of their own coordination and strength. These expressions through movement, should encourage the children's confidence as performers and individuals.
