In this flexible and interactive creative movement class, learners will be taught how to step out of the box a little and dance to "words"! Class begins with a fun warm up to make sure our bodies are ready to dance and then using, short story, The Big Book of Happy by Natalie Marshall, learners will be taught how imagination can turn those words into movement and then into a dance. Along with set choreography, there will be opportunities for learners to incorporate their own idea of movement inspired by the story. I will teach standing, using any facing the learners need to comprehend what I am teaching, therefore, students are not required to have any previous experience or knowledge. This class does not require shoes but should be taken in a safe and comfortable space that does not limit mobility. I encourage drinking water for hydration and clothing that is most comfortable for the learner to freely and easily move around in.
Learning Goals
Students will learn individuality as they notice that their way and understanding of the words in the story results in movements that differs from their neighbor, but can still present the same thing. Creativity will allow them to use their imagination to best explore what words they are trying to present and make it intentional and clear. Their repetitive movements will create muscle memorization which will be the beginning of building their movement bank.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Hello! My name is Mrs. Brittney or Mrs. B and I welcome you to my profile.
I have my degree in Early Childhood, and over 20 years of dance experience which includes teaching students of all ages many different styles of dance. Before the pandemic, I taught dance education in public and private schools, and represented Be Heard Through Movement as the main performer, dance teacher and choreographer. This year I celebrated my 2 year anniversary representing BHTM dance on Outschool!
I offer hip hop, ballet and creative movement dance classes to ages 5-10 and each class includes a steady pace of dance moves that encourage learning in the most creative ways. My enthusiastic teaching style is intended to inspire individuality, explore the art within & to be heard through movement.
My family's approach to learning is that there are many ways to "get it" and creativity, gentleness and connection play a huge role in that. In class, all students are seen, accepted and can never mess up. We will always dance our dances to be heard through movement!
I look forward to meeting you all!Reviews
