Monday

Budding Picassos

Our Budding Picassos will get inspiration for their art by looking at the work of fine artists, both old masters and contemporary. We'll explore watercolors, tempera paint, relief printmaking, drawing, collage, paper mache, air dry clay and many other mediums. Students will learn new techniques, build their fine motor skills and self confidence through artistic problem solving. Some of our activities include: Frida Kahlo-inspired self portraits, Isamu Noguchi-inspired mixed media playground sculptures, Jacob Lawrence-inspired city collages, and more.

Tuesday

Capoeira

Designated by UNESCO as a world cultural heritage of humanity, Capoeira is a mix of dance, combat, and play. It develops motor skills such as balance, strength, visual acuity, while stimulating creativity and self-confidence. Students will learn choreographies while listening to the rhythm of the berimbau, caxixi, tambourine and reco-reco.

Wednesday

Yellow Sweatband Club

Get ready to boogie!! This engaging group, led by the Practice Room, will be a sometimes rowdy, sometimes soft singalong style music class where we will stomp our feet, clap our hands, sing, and dance to classic songs loved by children, with some adult favorites thrown in. Exploring volume, tempo, and different moods in music will be explored and celebrated.

Thursday

Soccer

Our youth soccer program offers a fun, positive, and noncompetitive environment where children will learn the fundamentals of soccer. Our coaches use positive reinforcement to teach skills, while building confidence. The focal point at this age group is for children to be comfortable with the ball by further developing soccer skills such as dribbling, shooting and the introduction of passing. Classes include partner activities to promote sharing, listening, respect and cooperation. Physical activities include dynamic exercises like moving with pace, changing directions and lateral agility. These classes will start with a warm-up, continue with skill building, and end with a small-sided scrimmage match.
