Do your kiddos gravitate towards music and love to move? In Portland, we’re one lucky bunch; boundless opportunities for creative self-expression are at our fingertips. What children can learn about themselves and others through music and movement is invaluable and as the experts at Portland School of Music and Dance point out, “Attending to a child’s growing mind, music and dance provide students with something they don’t normally receive by combining critical thinking exercises with creativity and wonderment.” If you’re looking for an afterschool program to enhance your child’s education, here are a few of our favorite programs.
