At Arts With Heart we are passionate about creating safe and welcoming spaces while dedicated to providing strong technique and skills. Our instructors utilize the whole-child approach. We believe nurturing our students' social-emotional growth and creating an environment that is engaging, nurturing and challenging fosters a healthy experience far beyond the classroom. Our instructors are dedicated to providing our students with strong technique- breaking down skills into progressions, teaching pathways, and patiently providing practice with encouragement. Kinesiology is vital in teaching dance. Dancers will learn basic anatomy and biomechanics behind each skill which increases body awareness, improves technique and builds awareness how to proactively avoid injury. Skills are taught in an approachable manner that builds strong technique and create series of successes that foster healthy self esteem. Students are challenged and encouraged to build their technique and form and to grow as a dancer. We are also passionate about creating a sensory friendly environment for children with ASD, SPD and neurotypical children who thrive in a softer, positive, nurturing environment. We feel the combination of utilizing the whole-child approach, dedication to teaching solid technique in an encouraging and approachable manner, and fostering an environment that encourages inclusion creates an emotionally and physically safe environment where our students thrive.
