INTRODUCE THE BOOK & CONCEPT WITH CONFIDENCE

"This month in class we are reading Hadley Hedgehog’s Gratitude Groove, where dancers are exploring the concepts of big, medium, and small movements. These foundational movement concepts help children develop body awareness, coordination, and control while learning how to move with confidence in different ways. We also introduce gratitude through mindfulness, helping dancers practice awareness, recognition, and appreciation so they learn to notice the good around them, value themselves and others, and develop a positive mindset both inside and outside the dance studio."
