SUPERHERO moves

NOT YOUR REGULAR DANCE CLASSES!

Ages 2 – 10

The Superhero moves program was initiated in 2022 by Laurel as a way to bring together creative movement, adventure, mindfulness and consent skills. Along with the help of collaborator Ethan Douce and our amazing community these classes continue to grow and evolve… come try one out or sign-up for the session!

If mainstream classes are not a fit for your child, this may be! We take time with different learning styles and abilities and we put extra energy toward meeting kids and caretakers where they’re at.

Studio ED is committed to disability justice; masks (N-95) are required in all our adult classes and masks are encouraged in all of our kids classes. We provide them.
