WINGS
Our W.I.N.G.S. program is for all our dance and acro students aged 6 and above.
This program is designed to inspire students to cultivate good character, develop a growth mindset, be inclusive, focus on being present, and recognize their power to lead by example. The name of the program is an acronym that stands for What's Important Now, Include Everyone, Nurture Good Character, Growth Mindset, and Step Up and Take the Lead.
By participating in this program, we hope to boost our students' confidence, nurture their unique strengths, and create strong bonds and friendships that will last a lifetime. Throughout the year, we will spend a brief 5-10 minutes of each class doing a W.I.N.G.S. activity approx. every six weeks. During this time, students will learn valuable skills such as being present, focusing on what's important now, building relationships, being inclusive, cultivating good character traits, and embracing a growth mindset.
We believe that W.I.N.G.S. is a valuable part to our curriculum, helping our students to grow both in and out of the classroom. We encourage you to discuss the program with your child at home and reinforce the values and principles they are learning through it.
