Workshop Overview

Teachers will gain hands-on learning experience in creating age- appropriate movement activities for children ages 2 years to 5 years old. Issues of child development, kinesthetic learning and language development will also be the focus of this integrated movement and arts workshop.

Create playful age appropriate dance lesson plans which integrate stories, dance props, music and more! Come prepared to move and delight in the wonder of early childhood movement play and learning!

Stories in Motiontm was founded in January 2001 by Ann Biddle, offering an innovative approach to teaching dance to children that links creative movement and story telling. Stories in Motiontm has locations in New Jersey and Canada. The program is based on the Dance Education Laboratory (DEL) model of creative dance for children that Ms. Biddle was instrumental in developing at the 92nd St Y. Ms. Biddle has taught hundreds of dance teachers and is currently a staff developer for the NYC DOE Dance Department. For more information please visit our website at www.storiesinmotion.org.
