Flow Arts for Kids (Ages 7+)
We are overjoyed to bring flow arts for kids too Veda Studios because the physical, mental, and social implications of participating through choice are potent reminders of lessons on how to operate as an engaged agent in their lives.
In this 8 week course, your child will have the opportunity to practice and learn about object manipulation and community generation. We’ll play with hoops, poi, staff, and levi-wands; available for two weeks at a time, giving everyone a chance to try each prop on for size. We hope to encourage engagement, empowerment, and connection through flow arts/object manipulation.
This is a drop-in class so everyone can join at any time, though it is encouraged to commit to the entire course (as it is a community generation experience & the curricula builds off itself).
These spaces operate on a sliding scale from $10-$20, with discounts for preregistration, AND drop-in discount punch cards!
We are thrilled to see the kids starting that flow young, exceptionally developed younger children may be capable of participation,but these are skill based workshops meant for children 7 years and above. If you’d like to see if your child can participate, please feel free to contact GoFlow.
