Testimonial
"The students were actively engaged, and supported throughout their process. They were amazed at the dancers' ability along with their own ability and creative venture. Students were still talking about the class the next day, that is a testament of how well the program/class went."

Description
This playful, movement-based workshop from Pilobolus invites students to explore creativity, collaboration, and communication—the foundation of both dance and social-emotional growth. Using our signature techniques of improvisation and physical storytelling, students engage in group activities and guided games that help them express themselves, listen to others, and move as a team.
Pilobolus Teaching Artists create a supportive and inclusive environment where every student—regardless of experience—can thrive. This joyful workshop supports classroom culture, promotes emotional literacy, and gives students a creative outlet using the body as a tool for expression, empathy, and connection.
For grades 1-3 we recommend 40-45 minute classes
For grades 4 and up we recommend 60 minutes but we will work with the time that is available in the school schedule.
