Creative Play
Creative Play (K-2) encourages young students to find, create, and imagine for themselves. The program utilizes movement games and free-play activities instead of traditional dance training to explore ways that children can express themselves and communicate with others. Creative play includes periods of play with no rules or goals so that students can determine their own pathways to engagement.
Benefits of Creative Play include:
Self-determination, self-esteem, and the ability to self-regulate
Social competence, problem-solving skills, and conflict resolution
Curiosity, creativity, and imagination
Comfort with boredom or the ability to recognize boredom as an opportunity for creativity
Improved cognition, physical fitness, and overall well-being
