Developed by Dance Educator, Anne Green Gilbert, the BrainDance is a “series of exercises, comprised of eight fundamental movement patterns that we move through in the first year of life. Research has shown that these patterns are crucial to the wiring of the central nervous system, and lay the foundation for sensory-motor development and life long learning". Barbara introduces the patterns and presents a variety of ways to incorporate the Brain Dance into your day. Please wear comfortable clothing and bring water.
