Dancing wtih books™
Pre-K Program
With our team of incredible teaching artists, the Dancing With Books™ program uses music, movement, and visual arts to support classroom learning standards and promote cognitive and social emotional development.
How It works
The Dancing With Books™ residency is for Pre-K children ages 3 - 5 years old. An Inspired Child Teaching Artist is paired with a classroom teacher to bring a book to life using arts integration strategies and tools. Each residency creates a creative and artistic space for children while focusing on professional development training for classroom teachers. In a Dancing With Books™ residency, classroom teachers will receive the following:
7 student sessions
3 coaching sessions with an Inspired Child Teaching Artist
1 final Learning Celebration where each student gets to take home a backpack full of books
Why Dancing With Books™ is Important?
The arts promote brain development and learning
Research has proven that engaging in arts education stimulates brain growth, learning, and social-emotional development.
Inspired Child programs are specifically designed to create spaces for creativity and socialization, which stimulate the neural connections necessary for learning and human relationships.
Music, dance, theater and visual arts promote active exploration of the environment through individual and group creative processes and encourage human connections which is the foundation for learning.
