ABC Spanish in Motion (0 - 5 years)
This is a fun and interactive class where parents, caregivers, and educators sit with their children to explore the Spanish language, music, and Latin American culture. This class is perfect for parents with multiple children of varying ages. Children are exposed to Spanish through songs that create an environment that allows for a long period of listening and exposure, couple with call-and-response interactivity requiring physical movement. Parents receive a copy of our music heard in class to enjoy in the car and at home.
Games, songs, books, sign language, puppets, parachutes, and toys of this class cultivate curiosity and will stimulate children in rewarding ways. this language adventure can take them for a ride on a train (parachute) through the countries of the Americas, or simply popping burbujas (bubbles) in the bath top with patos (ducks) and ranas (frogs). If your child likes jumping, dancing, and singing, this is the perfect class!

Beginner Karate (6-8 years)
Beginner Karate focuses on rule-play and trusting that three basic rules will ensure a safe martial arts experience! Children will learn the most basic dojo(training hall) etiquette: how to bow and how to listen with their eyes. Attentive practice will keep students aware of their surroundings and fellow students as they begin to learn the basics of sparring in relation to defending themselves. Raising their hand to speak, or demonstrating the Statue of Liberty, gives them a lot of power and a voice in the class.
Register: Tuesday 5:00 Thursday 5:00
Intermediate Karate (8-12 years)
At this level, with some practice under their belt, students know that the rules are in place to protect them. Respect has taught them caution. Participants understand eye-contact as a method of communication. At this level, students will continue to practice sparring and the benefits of self-defense as they begin to earn stripes and different color belts and practice goal-setting and obtainment.
