Design Dance
Hip Hop for K-3rd grade is an after-school class that's a great introduction for new and returning students who love to dance! This program follows the structure of a Hip Hop dance class and introduces young dancers to the basics of Hip Hop and Pop Music style while growing independence, self-expression and community. Over the course of the session, students will engage in social-emotional learning as they play in contemporary movement games; strengthen individual gross-motor skills; enhance memory function through group technical practice; self manage in improvisational activities; and activate free choice, self-expression and creative confidence. No special dress is required in this program, however students are encouraged to wear gym shoes and clothes they are comfortable moving in.

Mission Propelle
Girl power yoga is not about reiforcing gendered messages. Rather, it is about encouraging girls to embrace their truest selves, no matter how that manifests. That’s why our program is grounded in yoga: a discipline that is neither competitive nor comparative. Yoga encourages mindfulness and self-acceptance.We complement yoga with a weekly reading drawn from Mission Propelle’s curriculum of 100+ storybooks. Our books showcase a diversity of female leaders – introverts, extroverts, science lovers, unicorn enthusiasts, and beyond! Our stories also showcase a diversity of family structures and living situations, inviting girls to see differences as sources of strength and beauty. Fall Session @ Peirce (flyer) Grades K-5 Fridays 3:15-4:15p October 4 - December 20, 2019 (no class on 11/28) Register: https://missionpropelle.com/product/peirce Contact: https://missionpropelle.com annie@missionpropelle.com |
