Dance Fusion for the Young Body, Mind and Spirit




Welcome!



Isadora Duncan Dance Technique Classes Coming to Kinney Bungalow at Sunset Farm in Narragansett this Summer of 2009! Don't miss out on this unique dance experience combining the joy and beauty of dance along with the rich dance history of the Kinney Bungalow.

Imagine the beauty of children moving with freedom and grace. The Isadora Duncan dance technique is a beautiful, free-flowing dance form using natural movements to classical music. The classes include dance phrases, studies in dramatic themes, improvisation and basic vocabulary. At the barre, students learn Duncan leg swings, plies, and fluid body circles.

ECMD's engaging, age-appropriate curriculum is nationally recognized and meets the National Standards for Dance Education. Using a whole body approach to children's movement and dance, infants, toddlers and young children, ages 3 months to 7 years old, explore weekly dance concepts which build upon the previous week's concepts to form a strong foundation. This foundation provides a balanced approach that not only develops strong, healthy bodies, but also develops important cognitive, social and emotional skills. Our classes create a nurturing, non-competitive learning environment where movement and dance skills are combined with the creative process to provide a rich and dynamic physical and imaginative experience for children.

All programs nurture creative expression and provide:

Customer Review as seen in Merchantcircle.com

"When my daughter Maia began dancing and twirling around the house, my husband and I knew we needed to find a creative outlet for her energy. There were many choices, from dance programs to kick-boxing and we found it difficult to narrow down all of the options. Early Childhood Movement and Dance seemed like a great choice from the get-go; Karen made me feel at ease immediately, and the combination of creativity and movement was a no-brainer for us. After the first class, Maia was energized, excited and...anxious to go back! Karen's soft voice and kind demeanor really touched my daughter's heart. Maia's creativity was tapped; she was encouraged to move in her own special way instead of simply mimicking an instructor. Thank you Karen, for making Early Childhood Movement and Dance such a smart choice!"
