Family Movement Workshop

Service Description

During our virtual or in-person family workshops, we invite children and their families to learn how to re-engage with emotions in safe ways that do not harm the self, others, or the environment. We teach children and their caregivers accessible and safe movement practices that help them recognize and release emotions in their bodies through movement. Through our curriculum, we guide your family through learning how to create shared language around emotions, how to engage with movement to express the things that we feel, and re-engage with the body to create images, shapes, and colors. Our movement sessions are not based on dance technique but rather on expressions of the self and the emotions within the self. We guide kids in finding ways to listen to their bodies and move in response to them. We use exploratory movements, to help families release tension and stress from their bodies and find beauty and safety within themselves. Our class provides spaces for families to feel a sense of calm in their often fast-paced lives. We guide families in learning how to communicate the overwhelming emotions that they often do not have the words to express so that they are happier, more grounded, and better able to navigate stress and anxiety.
