Hi everyone,
Unfortunately, I have to go out of town tomorrow, and won't be able to attend the meeting. I've sent my comments/updates to Nolin, Maia and Karyn to pass on at the meeting. Sorry I won't be there, but I'm sure Karyn won't mind filling m…
Sounds good. Looking forward to seeing you all on the 6th. Karyn and I have done some preliminary work trying to round up the kids program folks.
Hi Anne-Marie.
Before I read this post that you did, I posted a note to see if it was time to start to get the ball rolling for the STOMP. Ooops!
Obviously, you and I think it is. So, let's see how it goes with people responding to your post.

Hi Young Minds. Glad to hear from you - I recently saw your postcard and your programs look great. I'd love to hear more about them, and I'm sure we'll get the chance soon. I'll be in touch!

Movement Lab - An Innovative New Dance Studio and Outreach Program
Movement Lab is a new, social enterprise that brings together private and public dance education. The school offers high quality after-school ballet, modern, jazz, parent-tot and creative movement classes to children and adults, and profits go towards the Movement Lab Outreach Program: a free learning-through-movement program for public schools and non-profit community groups.
“Movement Lab is designed for community minded families who recognize the benefits of having arts in their public schools, and want high quality classes that foster physical and emotional well-being and creativity.” Director, Ann-Marie Williams (MA Dance, BFA Dance, Registered Teacher with the Royal Academy of Dance)
A learning environment designed in this way develops invaluable transferable life skills: feeling valued, unique and capable; and having an appreciation for the pursuit of personal excellence and the fun of life-long learning.
Interested students are invited to attend an Open House on Saturday September 5th 1-4pm or Saturday September 12th 1-4pm. A free children’s sample class will take place at 2:30 on both days. Please call 416-529-5146 for details, or visit www.movementlab.ca
Ann-Marie has over a decade of teaching experience in a variety of settings from university dance programs, to parks and recreation classes, to private day schools and dance studios. Her Master’s thesis focused on different learning styles and teaching academics through movement. She has also worked in the dance community as a non-profit arts manager, giving her a unique understanding of how to build healthier, more vibrant communities through integrating the arts. She was the Program Manager for two dance service organizations, Dance Ontario and The CanDance Network, and also sat on the board of the Canadian Alliance of Dance Artists for several years. In 2007-08, she was a jury member for the Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts’ Dora Mavor Moore Awards. She is also a guest writer for The Dance Current magazine.

Why put your young child in a Creative Movement class?
Creative Movement is unique to all other physical activities because it uses nonfuntional movement to invite each child to explore their own personal expressions. Nonfunctional simply means moving for the sake of moving, as opposed to kicking a ball, reaching for something, etc.
Through dance play, children discover new aspects of their bodies, minds, language, thoughts, and imagination while also becoming aware of elements of dance including rhythm, tempo, space, direction, size, levels and qu… Continue
