About the Program
Dancing the Parenting is a bilingual (French-English) and community oriented creative dance program for parents/caregivers with children 0-5 yrs. The program is designed by dance artist Julie Lebel and participants tall and small since it started in 2011.
Based in creative dance and improvisation and integrating developmental, play and attachment theories, as well as the Reggio Emilia approach to early childhood education, Dancing the Parenting is a playful and creative exploration of movement, engaging parents/caregivers into their own dancing just as much as the children.
Registration is free, thanks to the support of the City of Vancouver and the Department of Canadian Heritage with essential partners such as Creekside Community and Recreation Centre, The Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation and Trout Lake Community Centre.
Registration is also ongoing throughout the year until capacity is reached.
