Music Together is a music and movement classes for infants, toddlers and preschooler with their parents and caregivers. Activities include fingerplays, scarf dances, singing games and instuments jams. These 45 minute weekly classes continue for ten weeks and are led by a trained teacher.

Old time country dances are taught and danced to live fiddle music. Bring the family and learn together, the Virginian Reel and the Patacake Polka. Children learn cooperation and coordination while learning patterns of music and movement. Dancing is a wonderful form of exercise and fun for the whole family, during the long Maine winter.

Authentic Movement is an improvisational movement form also known as Contemplative Dance, Tao of the Body and Essential Movement, pioneered by Mary Whitehouse in the 1970s. It requires no prior dance training, but rather a desire and willingness to explore the body’s natural impulse to move and to allow itself to be moved by the spirit. Through paying attention without judgment to what is present in our movement and the sounds, images, ideas and memories that accompany it, we call forth what is most essential. Each session will begin with a warm-up period to release tensions and enliven consciousness in the physical body using Gabrielle Roth’s 5 rhythms, (aka The Wave). The opportunity for artistic expression through visual or written media follows the movement period. Reflection on one’s experience afterward serves to ground and amplify the discoveries made.
