Taught by Olivia Williams, Little Ninjas will work on balance, coordination, following directions, and motor imitation in a group setting.

The session starts with large body movements focused on increasing body awareness. The majority of class will focus on gross motor activities through obstacle courses, relays,  and movement games—such as follow-the-leader, animal walks, or freeze dance— to build motor planning, listening skills, and the ability to start and stop movements. The end of class focuses on calming the body and mind to prepare for the transition of leaving class.

The overall goal is to strengthen gross motor skills while helping children feel successful, engaged, and confident moving their bodies in a group setting.
