Our weekly CAPE classes have been a nurturing playground of joy, community, and of course, dance. We invite you to take a peak into our Virtual Maze of After School CAPE magic!

Inside Out
-Beginning with a curiosity for who we are and what we need in this world
Written Exploration:
Class Structure:
Classes were intentionally threaded with care and flexibly designed to cater to each class' needs. The first 10 minutes were structured for entry-providing considerate space and time to mentally arrive for the day. This was followed by our "what's on top" daily starter where our students shared how they were feeling, what they might need, and any other exciting things in their lives. The remaining class time was colorfully shaded with movement exploration, read-alouds, community building games, riddles, Self-Care booklet making, and Flipgrid Chronicles. AND, how lucky were we?-to occasionally have big sister's dancing, baby brother's laughter, and dad's storytelling guest appear a time or more during our year-long adventure.Â
Movement Exploration:
Following written and group reflections, students practiced gestural and embodied practices around the ideas of who they are, their strengths, and their envisions for their communities.
Self-Care Booklet:
Students re-imagined their past and present selves through archived memories: of family, home, and calling of moments that resemble joy. Archived memories were photographed and placed into individual scrapbooks along with a sample writing in time.
End of Year Video:
To close the program school year, students remade their favorite Just Dance Visual- and WOW did they blow us away.
This is just a sample of ALL the magic our students made this year!! Cheers to Giselle and Manuel for an amazing year of CAPE! Now, here's a little BTS of our Just Dance Visual... Enjoy!
