LA GRANDE — Do you have children who love to flip, fly or twirl?

Art Center East is now offering classes in Creative Movement (ages 3-5), Fundamentals of Dance (ages 6-10), and Fundamentals of Tumbling (ages 6-10). These energetic classes will be held on Tuesdays at Cove Junior/Senior High School and Calvary Baptist Church in Cove.

In the Creative Movement class, students will focus on complex coordinations, creative thinking and kinesthetic learning. Students in Fundamentals of Dance will learn beginning ballet, creative expression and musicality. Children enrolled in Fundamentals of Tumbling will focus on strengthening, dance tumbling and leaping.

The classes are taught by Abigail Shown, ACE development coordinator, who has a B.F.A. in modern dance and experience as a dance teacher and choreographer.

“Movement is an amazing way to gain self-expression, inspire creativity, and bond. I’ve dedicated my life to this art form and am thrilled to share it with a younger generation,” Shown said.

• Creative Movement (ages 3-5): Tuesdays, 3:45-4:30 p.m., Calvary Baptist Church, 707 Main St., Cove
