What is Waterville Moves?
A chance for the family to move, make, and create.
Free intergenerational dance classes
Waterville Moves is a popular bi-weekly series that invites you to move your body, share stories, and create connections through guided movements and dance making. This class can be a great way to warm-up and stretch your physicality, or an opportunity to connect to your community. Each class is 45 minutes to an hour long, and can be taken as a series or a single workshop. Classes are free and open to all: no experience with dance needed. This year classes will take place at Greene Block + Studios.
Classes are every other Saturday from September 14, 2024 through May 2024.
9:30-10:15 Parent + Child with instructor Jenny Ngidi-Brown. This shorter 45 minute program is for parents with children younger than age five. This class is designed specifically for parents to move with their child.
10:30-11:30 Intergenerational (ages 5-105!) with instructor Matthew Cumbie. This hour long intergenerational dance class is for people of all ages, backgrounds and experiences.
