Kids Wellness Classes

At the Katz JCC, kids come first! We have developed a variety of programs specifically for children to encourage them to start thinking about wellness, nutrition and a healthy lifestyle at a young age.

Tiny Dancers - Creative Movement

This creative movement series will introduce the basics of dance to students, ages 4-6. Kids will have the opportunity to let loose and express themselves freely through movement and will be hopping, skipping, and sashaying throughout our spacious outdoor studio.

Each class will begin with a warm-up followed by new dance steps pulled from a wide array of styles including ballet, modern, jazz, and hip hop. This will provide students with the opportunity to get a taste of all different types of dance. Each class will introduce a theme, which will be reinforced through storytelling during rest times to encourage interdisciplinary learning. This class can be modified to accommodate physical differences.
