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 at a very low cost, thanks to the financial support of the City of Vancouver, the Government of Canada, the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation, Metro Vancouver and Trout Lake Community Centre. 

Register one child per family:
