Movement, strength and strengthening, creative problem solving, embodiment games.
The importance of fostering movement from a young age is a belief close to my heart.
At SULT we offer a nurturing youth program for children seeking an appreciation of dance as an expressional art form and an integrated experience.
Classes playfully explore a variety of dance modalities.
The body and mind is seen as a whole and we focus on strengthening it as such, through kinesthetic appreciation, creative play and dynamic co-creation.
Much more of the brain is devoted to movement than to language. Language is only a little thing sitting on top of this huge ocean of movement.
