Our Philosophy

2024 Fall Programs
- Registration coming soon! -

We’re super excited to introduce a new program coming this Fall ‘2024! We’re adding a new Leadership through Dance™ program to Redeemer Lutheran School in Redwood City, which will also be open to our existing students who currently take Zumba Kids at our programs at Clifford Elementary and North Star Academy. I’m excited to bring communities across Redwood City together, and grateful for the opportunity to use the beautiful space at Redeemer.

Regardless of which location or school, our Leadership through Dance™ programs aim to inspire our students through exposure to different styles of dance, and teach leadership and teamwork skills, while working together as a Dance Team to co-create a full dance showcase to be performed for our family and friends. Capacity will be limited, so sign-up early once registration opens! Registration Information coming soon.

CONTACT US if you want to be included when we notify families that registration is open!

General Class Structure:

While this program is focused on developing Leadership skills, all students will be moving and dancing in this class, with breaks, discussions, and team activities in between. This will be an active program meant to engage your child physically and mentally!

Part 1 = Dance!
The first part of the class will include a warm-up, a focus on specific dance techniques from different styles of dance, and an instructor-led dance piece.

Part 2 = Topic of the Day
While the kids take a break from dancing, they will be actively engaged in activities around a topic for the day that is meant to help them with their team project.

Part 3 = Teamwork!
Small teams will then be formed, allowing the kids to get creative with a smaller group to create their own dance choreography.

Part 4 = Reflect and Close
With the challenges they will face working together, comes valuable lessons that can be applied to their day-to-day lives. We’ll reflect on learnings and celebrate the progress made as we close the day.

Offline Homework/Activities
Students may need time outside of class to choreograph on their own or with their teams, although we do our best to give the students time during our program. We will teach them strategies to do this even if they don't have dance experience.

Virtual Program/Performance Details:
Specifically for our virtual programs, we may challenge the students to record themselves dancing in their own environments for our virtual performances. The class will be recorded and our program will conclude with a final private video-based virtual viewing party for parents. The final video will remain private but shared with the parents.
