Ballet Classes
Wednesdays, 3:10-4:00 p.m.
Instructor: Ms. Melody Smith
15 weeks per Semester
Fee: $260 per Semester
The creative movement program is designed with the whole child in mind. Our instructor for the last five (5) years has been Ms. Melody Smith, a classically trained ballet dancer. Our program focuses on the growth and development of the child using creative skills, dance skills, and fine and gross motor skills. Classical and non-traditional (Disney) music is used throughout the class.
The basic dance skills are ballet based. Children 3-9 years of age will gain large and fine motor skills, body awareness and spatial awareness as well as time for creative “free” dance at the end of each class. During each class we will also work on motor and rhythm skills using a variety of fun “toys” such as scarves, rhythm sticks and bean bags. Children learn a variety of dance steps that are age appropriate and prepare them for pre-ballet classes. The dress code is pink tights, a leotard and ballet shoes for girls, and athletic pants and a tee shirt for boys. We will have a recital at our school in May where the children will have a chance to show what they have learned during the school year.

Cooking with Children
Thursdays 3:00 - 4:00 p.m.
15 weeks per Semester
Instructor: Maedeh Sayfi
Fee: $300 per Semester
The purpose and focus of Cooking with children is to bring fresh, healthy, and semi-home made food and classic cooking techniques to children. Most importantly, to have a great time and to show that there is good and “real” food far above and beyond of known fast food.
Ms. Maedeh would like to share her passion of cooking with children. Her teaching is a “hands on” and concrete approach to cooking for children, ages 4-11.
Our kids help us see the world with fresh eyes, and fill our lives with hope, joy, and inspiration. As parents, our greatest challenge is to feed our kids well and give them everything they need to live happy, healthy lives. And we know how exhilarating and exhausting that can be. So I am committed to providing busy moms and dads with the tips, tools, and ideas they need to fuel their kids' appetites and imaginations.
