classes
Creative Dance
This class is for ages 3-6. Children will explore movement, improve motor skills, learn body awareness and basic dance and tumbling through imagination and play. We will enjoy dancing to songs and stories. Children will be guided in finding their own unique way of movement and expression. Classes are kept small so each child gets plenty of attention.
Adult and Child
This class is for ages 1-3. The class is geared towards the children with adults joining in the fun and assisting the child in their learning. We will hear stories and explore movement together.
Peer Fun
This is a collaborative class between peers. We will mix typically developing teens with some of their non typically developing peers and we will all dance together. This is a chance to learn from each other and to support each other in a fun way.
“My daughter enjoyed 3 wonderful years of dance with Kellee. Her philosophy of teaching in a relaxed and playful environment gives the kids an opportunity to learn about dance and body movement while keeping it fun for them. She takes time to know each of the children as individuals. Kellee is also an accomplished dancer and choreographer, the annual recital performance is an amazing event for the kids and their fans alike.”
Sage and Sprout
This is an after school program for children and seniors that takes place at Aspen Ridge. There are group activities led by Kellee to foster community building and learning between the two groups. There is also open play where the children choose activities and the adults accompany them. The life wisdom, patience, and focused attention of the seniors greatly benefits the confidence and social emotional development of the children. The youthful energy, curiosity and enthusiasm of the children encourages exercise for both mind and body in the seniors.
Special Needs
Children of all abilities are welcome in Kellee's classes. She has worked with children with all sorts of specialties from wheelchairs, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Blind, Deaf, Autism... basically if your child wants to dance they are welcome in my studio. The best thing to do if your child is not typically developing is to call Kellee so you can decide together which class would best suit your child.
“I have danced and taught for over 20 years and had never seen methods like Kellee’s. She knows the needs of every child’s developmental stage and her classes are specially designed to meet those needs.”
