Classes

Classes at Move! are for ages 3 through adult and include active participation, live music, and dynamic movement in a fun group environment.  Anyone who has had an interest in martial arts, dance, gymnastic, and/or music will appreciate capoeira, which includes all of these.  Students progressively learn the steps, kicks, dodges, percussion, and more, all while getting in great shape.  Each class includes a warm-up and stretch, instruction in basic techniques, group application, and music.  Move! also offers Scottish Dance, African Drum and Dance, Brazilian percussion, Acrobatics, and more. First-timers are always welcome.  Please call or use the form on the right to schedule a free orientation and trial class.
