‘Juega Y Baila’ is a bilingual creative movement class in Spanish and English for children (ages 11- 23 months) and their caregivers. We will stretch our bodies and imagination through movement activities that help support our physical development and spatial awareness. Using spanish songs, rhythmic games and gentle bodywork, we will explore group and partner interactions while learning new concepts and words. We invite you to clap, slide, crawl, swing, roll, freeze, wiggle, breathe, melt and fly with your little one and all of us.
Estos talleres ofrecerán una experiencia de movimiento creativo a niños/ niñas y a los adultos acompañantes. A través del estiramiento del cuerpo y la estimulación de la imaginación, desarrollaremos conciencia del espacio físico y otros nuevos espacios imaginados. Utilizando canciones, cuentos, y juegos rítmicos, exploraremos la interacción de grupo y de parejas entre niños y adultos. Ven, aprende y disfruta en un ambiente bilingüe, mientras saltamos, bailamos, nos deslizamos, gateamos, giramos, rodamos, y nos remeneamos de alegría.
