School Programs

Moving Minds is more than just a name. It's a philosophy for how we learn and engage with new ideas. 

Dance and movement can have an incredible impact on academic learning. We have vast experience teaching
dance in public, private, and pre- school settings, and we know how to light up your students' love to learn. 

Treasure Chest for Teachers

Our popular online Treasure Chest is bursting with dance activities that are ready to align with your classroom's curriculum!

This vast resource is currently available to individual families for a low monthly subscription fee. 

This winter, we will begin releasing teacher-specific units, with activities developed for specific grade levels in a variety of academic subjects, with full standards-aligned lesson plans. 

Additional resources, crafts, and activity tutorials will always be freely available in our treasure chest. 
*As teachers, we know budgets are tight, and we know you are already giving so much to your students.  Our vision is to be a resource to you and not an added expense. We want to be part of a cultural shift that provides all schools innovative and artistic learning programs like ours and are dedicated to being supportive in the funding process.  Let us know how we can help you advocate for this support from your administrators and community members you in bringing dance into your classroom. 

And, if you are at a Seattle school, you may already have funding through the Creative Advantage! Make sure your administration is putting those funds to work for you. 
Workshops and Residencies
Want more than the standard videos in our Treasure Chest? We would love to work with you to develop a workshop or residency specifically designed with your classroom or grade band's learning goals in mind. We can collaborate with you to develop a program as small to a one-time visit or as extensive as a three-month integration with a long-term unit. 

Our standard rates for school residencies are $55/ teaching hour and $30/ planning hour. 

We can also arrange assemblies or all-school presentations starting at a flat event rate of $300. 

All programs will only be available virtually until further notice.
