Creative Movement Division (ages 3-5)

Printable version of Creative Movement flier (including schedule and tuition information)

The Creative Movement Division offers classes for children ages 3-5.  The classes meet once a week for 45 minutes. Creative Movement 1 is open to children who have turned 3 by September 1, 2008. Creative Movement 2 is open to children who have turned 4 by September 1, 2008. Creative Movement 3 is open to 5 year olds who prefer a creative dance class rather than the Pre Ballet option for 5 year olds.

The Creative Movement syllabus is designed by Joan Wolfe and utilizes original music composed specifically for each class by her husband and composer, Bill Wolfe. 

Classes are narrative in nature as students are led through a series of movement stories and ballet-based activities that appeal to both girls and boys alike. The creative play in each story enhances the development of fine and gross motor skills as they balance, skip, leap, coordinate, isolate and move to the music. Social skills are also developed through collaborative and cooperative games.

Inherent in this program is Ms. Wolfe’s extensive knowledge of early childhood development and philosophy of adult/child interaction. The curriculum is designed to gently introduce the youngest students to a structured and safe classroom environment, while instilling the physical and emotional confidence to explore and create.

Ballet Austin faculty teaching in the Creative Movement Division are trained by Joan Wolfe.
