In this 4-week dance workshop series, our imaginations will be our guides. No technique here, only age-appropriate dance games, structured improvisations, and fun moving to different kinds of music. Together we'll explore elements of dance making, including tempo, levels, shapes, and movement qualities through playful and theatrical experiments. We'll even dance our feelings. No dance experience required; just a love of music and movement. Let's dance! 

Please note: The County Arts Lab has moved upstairs! Classes are now taking place in unit 2E of the Picton Armoury Building (Main Street level). The most convenient access is through the Main Street entrance, but you can also enter through the back/Mary Street entrance and use the interior stairs to reach the main floor (please note there is no elevator in the Armoury). There is one accessible parking spot at the corner of Main and Ross Streets across from The Regent Theatre.
