ABOUT CREATIVE KIDS DANCE

DDCdances, in collaboration with Jeannie Zimbalatti’s School of Dance, offers a unique, multi-disciplinary dance/arts adventure for young people ages 7 to 12! Creative Kids, established by DDC, provides opportunities for children to study creative movement concepts, learn to choreograph, and perform their dances at concerts presented by DDC.

Creative Kids Dance will offer every child the opportunity to explore the arts, discover the creativity within themselves, celebrate their accomplishments, and share the products of their work with family, friends, and others.

DDC dance artists promote creativity by providing a positive learning environment where children experience a joyful way to explore movement through music, develop physical skills, channel energy, stimulate imagination.

Students with disabilities are welcome to participate.
