For those Creative & Active Learners who LOVE Writing & Dance! No experience necessary, but loving writing and/or dance is a plus! Learners will come away from this class with an original short poem AND feeling accomplished & refreshed from executing ballet exercises! We will use a right-brain visual form of outlining to gather our ideas & then expound upon those thoughts & creatively express ourselves in writing! We will have fun & get exercise too, while increasing flexibility, balance, posture, and core strength through ballet movements! Writing & Dance are inherently uplifting and rewarding! This is a class for learning & wellness & enjoyment too! I place high value on positive student/teacher interaction, and giving time and space for learners to think, share, and move.
Learning Goals
Students will increase creative expression & writing confidence through writing a poem, while also increasing flexibility, balance, posture, and core strength through ballet movements!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Disclaimer: Dance is an artistic, athletic & expressive form of physical activity. The physical aspects can be both a valuable source of exercise and also have unique demands. Dance will involve jumping, turning, toe pointing, and hip adductor exercises, and will target core, abs, arms, gluts and quads. I strongly recommend you consult with a physician before beginning any exercise program. You should be in healthy physical condition to be able to participate in the dance exercises in this class.

Hello, my name is Rebekah Gole, and I teach Writing & Ballet Classes. I'm committed to giving all students an engaging & dynamic experience!
Writing:
Want to become a stronger, more intuitive, reflective writer? Learners will overcome common roadblocks such as "not knowing where to start" & have opportunity to enhance creativity & increase writing confidence! I place high value on positive student/teacher interaction and giving time & space for learners to think & share.
I have 9 years ELA Teaching experience with 5th-10th graders, hold an Educator's license, and have my B.A. in ELA & EDU from Baldwin-Wallace College. I have worked closely with gifted kids for several years. I like to enrich my classes at a deeper level, and sometimes I go at a faster clip. Learners that tend to go deep or fast may do well working with me.
Please look for One-Time Writing Classes, Ongoing Creative Writing Clubs & Writing Support Supplemental Courses.
