Philosophy:

Learn & Love It exists for students to grow their bodies, minds and spirits through a positive dance or movement experience in a joyful and uplifting environment.


Strategy:

Dance instruction through Learn & Love It focuses on teaching the four major dance concepts of SPACE, TIME, FORCE and BODY.  Teaching dance concepts helps students understand all the movement options available to them.  This builds their confidence as well as their physical strength and coordination as they create their own movements and dances.
