Two new classes starting in May at SVA!
1. WOODSPRYTE ARTS is all about play-based creative learning experiences for very young children. With over four decades of work in Early Childhood Education, I have developed an approach that integrates literacy, the arts, STEM themes, cooking & nutrition, and more to give kids hands-on, meaningful and joyful engagement with the world around them. Classes are geared toward children aged 2-8.
$25 per child advance sign-up, $30 drop-in.

Tuesday, May 5th: Welcome, Birds of Spring! A celebration of the bird life all around us this time of year. Our young artists will read and sing and fly, then create bird and feather collages with glue and paint.
Tuesday, May 19th: It’s Garden Time! Calling all young gardeners for stories about growing things, decorating plant pots, and potting up something to grow at home. We’ll also do some little work in our little SVA WoodSpryte Garden to get it ready for planting.
2. BALLET with Jessica Batten: This ballet class is designed as a welcoming space for dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and experience levels. Each person will be met with encouragement, respect, and a sense of belonging. My teaching style blends the structure and discipline of classical ballet with an emphasis on joy, curiosity, and personal expression. Students will be guided through foundational technique while also being invited to explore their own artistry and musicality.
Everyone is welcome and this class will be a fun and supportive space; together, we will develop technical skills, flexibility, and strength. Come as you are, move at your own pace, and experience ballet not only as an art form, but as a gift of movement to yourself.
Let's dance!
Cost: Drop in fee of $20/class per person
When: Tuesday, May 26 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM and Tuesday, June 9 6:00 PM - 7:30 PM
