“Magic Hour” Family Song and Dance Circles

Step into a world of enchantment with Magic Hour, a unique family music and movement class. Celebrate diverse cultures through songs, chants, and prayers while dancing to global rhythms- from lively African beats to soulful Latin melodies.

This is not your typical “Mommy and Me” experience!

I created these classes to be joyful and engaging for everyone, not just the kids. After attending other family music classes where the children had fun but the adul.ts looked bored or even irritated by the campy, repetitive songs, I knew there had to be a better way.

Magic Hour is different.

I sing songs that I love, and play music that I enjoy dancing to, because I believe children deserve to be immersed in high-quality, soulful music that uplifts the whole family. Kid’s music doesn’t have to be annoying, over-stimulating, or grating. It can be beautiful, meaningful, and fun for all ages.

Together, we sing wisdom songs, folk songs from different cultures, and beloved family favorites, creating shared experiences that nourish connection and joy. Singing and dancing together promote well-being and regulation, offering benefits like stress relief, cognitive development, and improved coordination for kids (and grown-ups, too!)

Music and Movement are powerful tools for connection, joy, and regulation.

Each session includes warm-ups, rhythm exercises, yoga with breathwork, and moments of stillness. It culminates in a dance party (that gives both parents and kids a light workout) and ends with a snuggly lullaby and guided meditation, which supports nervous system regulation. Magic Hour isn’t just a class; it’s a community where families come together to learn, grow, and make lasting memories.

Movement Empowerment & Creative Dance Classes

Dance is a healthy, fun, and uplifting way to take good care of your body. Along with being great exercise, dance is a wonderful way to connect with others, relieve stress, and bring more joy into your life. Recent studies even show that dance is more effective than pharmaceuticals in treating depression.

In this unique, playful, and nonjudgmental class, we begin with fun warm-up exercises, body conditioning, and stretching to get our bodies ready to move. From there, we explore different rhythms and dance styles and experiment with moving to an eclectic playlist spanning genres and cultures from around the world. Fun partner exercises and other playful activities are included to help build connection, trust, and confidence. Part guided, part free-flow, this experience is designed to help participants feel strong, confident, and at ease in their bodies while discovering how good it feels to move to music just for the joy of it.

These classes are for all ages, with both youth and adult classes available, and are tailored specifically to those who sign up. Students are met where they are and supported in ways that match what they are ready for, ensuring everyone feels seen, included, and empowered. One of my deepest missions in life is to share the joy of dancing- not to impress others, but simply for the fun of it. This is about finding freedom in your body and the confidence to move in a way that feels good from within.

This class isn’t about how dance looks; it’s about how it feels.

Join us to connect, explore, and rediscover the pure magic of dancing for yourself!

Playgroups

My playgroups offer a joyful space where children can explore creativity, build friendships, and have fun. Each playgroup features music, movement, storytelling, nutrient-dense snacks and imaginative play, tailored to the children’s interests. I create a kind and inclusive atmosphere, guiding kids in forming positive social interactions and resolving conflicts peacefully. Playgroups are typically groups of 3-5 children and occur on a consistent day of the week.

Does this sound like a great addition to your family’s week?
