It's the most wonderful time of the year!
​Here are a some activities to bring festive fun into your classes. Enjoy!

Winter Movement Cards

Download these fun-themed movement cards for FREE! You can laminate to make them last for years to come. These are great to include in your obstacle courses, lay them around the room for open exploration (great for grown-up/tot classes), or send them to your dance families so they can continue the dance fun at home!

​For older dancers, make it a fun choreography game! Divide your class into small groups. Have dancers randomly draw cards and place in an order. Dancers work together to create a short choreographic phrase they can share with the class.
