Creative Movement Classes for Preschoolers are offered at the KFA Studio at 7 East 7th Avenue, Emporia, KS Wednesday Mornings 10:30-11:15am until March 11. The classes are taught by Kitty Frank, free of charge.

Research indicates that experiences in creative movement build physical development, listening skills, social and emotional development, language and communication skills and body awareness. Music and movement are tools to express ourselves and use our imaginations! The classes will use some of the material from Lavinia Roberts book "A Little Drama." For more information about the author, visit https://laviniaroberts.com/

Recommended age level for the class is 2 1⁄2 to 5 years old but all children are welcome. If interested, please sign up for the event on Facebook so we can plan our space.
