Moves & Grooves Location Change and Fall 2012 News

We are pleased to announce will be moving into the brand new beautiful Terwillegar Community Church located at 1751 Towne Centre Blvd in the heart of Terwillegar Towne!

Moves & Grooves in the Top 5% of Kindermusik Programs Recognized in the WORLD!

Our Fall Schedule for Kindermusik classes is now posted on our website and open for registration!

To make it easier to plan your year of Kindermusik we are moving most of our class schedules to a school year calendar – September to June classes. And easier still – monthly payments!

Register today! Simple, Easy, Flexible . . . Enroll once now, and you’re done for the year. We’ll charge your card on the 5th of each month (September 2012 to May 2013). Should your child need to move up to the next age group, we’ll help you do that at theme change time. EASY in, but easy out too (we assume you’re here to stay until you tell us otherwise). If you need to cancel your enrollment (not gonna happen…you love us!) all we require is written notice before the 1st of a new month to avoid incurring charges for the new month.

Each School Year 2012 – 2013 Kindermusik enrollment includes:

32 weekly developmentally appropriate classes (September 15 – June 1)
New Home Materials with each new curriculum theme
Helpful parent resources, tips and communication – in class and online
Unlimited make-up classes!

Dance Program Temporarily Suspended
Due to space restrictions our Dance Program have been temporarily suspended until further notice. We will keep you informed as to the when the Dance Program may continue.

Spring Classes

Register For Your Spring Classes Now!

Spring is here, and so is our spring schedule with Kindermusik Adventure camps and ABC Music & Me classes replacing the core Kindermusik cirriculum until fall.  Here’s a look at the new classes for spring and summer:

ABC Music & Me
- 3 & 4 year olds

In an ABC, Music & Me class, your child will embark on a musical journey of discovery and exploration. We’ll play instruments, enhance vocal development, and learn keyboard skills and musical concepts through activities that promote problem solving, self-confidence and individual expression.

Adventures - Newborn to 18 monthsPeek-A-Boo! I Love You!—More than just a curious story, Mother Goose games like peek-a-boo help babies understand language. In this special camp, uncover more ways to say “I love you” using American Sign Language, soap bubbles, and parent-baby dances. Plus, parents can meet with other newborns and families in the community and learn how music improves the child development process.

Busy Days—Set your baby’s day to classical music. With a little more Tchaikovsky in your “Twinkle, Twinkle” repertoire discover new ways baby benefits from the classics as you develop an appreciation for the world’s most respected music. Each lesson features new activities and songs that the parent can sing for all the places baby and mom go together—the store, the playground, the doctor, and more.

Adventures - 18 months to 3 years

Zoo Train!— Toddlers and trains make a natural match—always on the move. Tag along this summer with a traveling zoo train. Bring your own stuffed animals for the petting zoo. Wear long white socks on your hands for polar bear paws and learn about real animals in the zoo. Sing songs for clapping time, and use music to help toddlers regulate emotions.

Creatures in My Backyard—Give children something to sing about in their own backyards. Be the flower from the “seed’s” perspective. Run and jump in rain puddles made from hula hoops.

Creatures at the Ocean—Sing sailor songs and make the ocean count. “Five little seashells lying on the shore: Swish! Went the waves and then there were four.”

For a look at all of our class offerings visit movesandgrooves.ca/registration/ today!

Priority Registration is Available for our Moves & Grooves Families, Facebook Fans, Twitter Followers, and Newsletter Subscribers Exclusively Until April 5th. Register Now to Avoid Dissapointment!!!

9:30am- Imagine That! (3 to 5 year olds)
In a Kindermusik Imagine That class, your preschooler’s soaring imagination takes off on a musical journey of discovery and exploration. Musical activities are integrated with vocal development, storytelling, movement and literature to capture your child’s potential to learn and to encourage cognitive and literacy skills, creativity and individuality.
10:00am – Our Time (18 month to 3 year olds)
In a Kindermusik Our Time class, your child will uncover an engaging musical world that encourages creativity and nurtures social development as you play instruments, sing, move and explore together. As you provide the security and comfort she still needs, she’ll learn how to control her body, speak her mind, and build the independence she wants.
10:30am – Family Time (0 to 7 year olds)
Kindermusik Family Time is a class designed for families with one or more children who want to participate in an activity together. You’ll play instruments, dance, explore, develop musical skills, share and take turns in a multi-layered learning environment. Discover how music brings you closer as a family.
11:15am – Village (0 to 18 month olds)
A Kindermusik Village class is a special place for connecting with other parents and babies through musical learning. You’ll learn about your baby’s unique development, and how to encourage growth of the neurological connections in your little one’s brain. Together, you’ll sing, dance, play, snuggle and discover during activities that stimulate and engage all of the senses.

12:00pm – Salsa Babies (for Moms with Babies in carriers)  Salsa Babies offers a great workout, a chance to socialize with other moms, and an opportunity to introduce one’s child to music and movement. Not to mention, it’s perfect for people who have always wanted to learn to dance, but could never convince their partner to take lessons!  Classes are appropriate for babies approximately 6-8 weeks of age and up.  All levels of fitness and dance experience are welcome.
12:30pm – Hip Hop 3 & 4 (3 & 4 year olds)
Learn the coolest hip hop moves to date, along with some hip dance sequences. Your kids will learn some old school, new school, popping and locking and even some cool break dancing moves. All classes are done in an upbeat fun environment with age appropriate hip hop music.
1:00pm – Themed Preschool 3 &4 (3 & 4 year olds)
In a group setting your child will have the opportunity to explore their creative side through the art of movement and musicality, in a fun and friendly environment.  Movement focus will be on Ballet, Jazz and Creative Movement.
2:00pm – Hip Hop 5 (5 year olds or 4 year olds who have been through Hip Hop 3 &4 or similar)
Learn the coolest hip hop moves to date, along with some hip dance sequences. Your kids will learn some old school, new school, popping and locking and even some cool break dancing moves. All classes are done in an upbeat fun environment with age appropriate hip hop music.
2:30pm – Hip Hop 6 & 7 (6 & 7 year olds)
Our newest addition to our dance classes!  By request we have added this Hip Hop class for 6 & 7 year olds who want to learn old school, new school, popping and locking, some cool break dancing moves, and of course some hip dance sequences.
