It is the mission of Children’s Dance Workshop and the Michiana Dance Ensemble to provide a positive dance and movement experience with emphasis on Modern Dance and a strong curriculum in both Modern and Ballet. The goals of the classes are increased body awareness, flexibility, stamina, and strength, sharpened observational skills and improved basic locomotor skills. Additional goals include the development of self-confidence and presence, stimulation of imagination and creativity and most importantly the discovery of the joy and freedom of moving through space and time with delight. It is our hope to offer an exciting and challenging movement experience for all students and to offer progressive study. The mission is to cultivate and excite the young dancer who wishes to just move and create and students with the hope of becoming professional. Our program challenges and awakens both sides of the brain as the students discover the joy of strengthening the mind, body, and spirit!
