Kim believes that creative movement should be movement that includes the inner
nature of the child. Encouraging children to explore movement using music while
developing physical skills and challenging energy in a healthy age-appropriate way. In
her classroom you can expect your child to actively use 3 of their 5 senses. They will
touch, see and hear by climbing, jumping, using ribbons, scarves, musical instruments
and stickers just to name a few. She believes in a fundamental approach that
emphasizes self-expression and motor skills and is often the first steps in a young
dancer’s journey.
