Explore the arts with your child

For many of our two- to six-year-olds, the Creativity Club is their first introduction to the arts, especially sculpting, acro-dance, drumming, and Irish Step Dancing. It could be the beginning of a passion for one of those art forms or one of the five others we offer.

It’s also one of the ways we fulfill the Hot Shots’ mission of building their self-confidence,as every artistic effort is greeted with enthusiasm and encouragement by our instructors and teenage coaches. And, because you’ll be experiencing the same wonderful discoveries with them, it will fulfill another Hot Shots mission: Building strong parental bonds. Then, we end each session with a story time and send every child home with a bag of five books as part of our third mission: Building their love of reading.

A 10-week dive into the arts (dance, music, & art)

DANCE (Acro, Ballet, Modern, and Irish Step!)

On four of the ten Sundays, the girls and boys (and their parents and caregivers) will learn four very different styles of dance, even Irish Step Dancing! The dance instructors are from the Pembroke School of Performing Arts and the Dunleavy Boyle Academy of Irish Dance. It’s all high energy and tons of fun!

ART & SCULPTURE: Painting and sculpting animals

An instructor from the South Shore Art Center in Cohasset, who is exquisite at working with kids, will teach us how to sculpt things like polar bears and kitties, complete with a diaramma background. For the painting segment, we’ll use black paper and a variety of tricks that will enable very young kids to do very complex paintings!

MUSIC: Singing, playing fun instruments, & drumming

Instructors from the South Shore Conservatory in Hingham and the Jesse Stiglich Music School in Hanover will teach us how to sing and play fun instruments, including a variety of drums. We’ll learn songs and how to move with the music with magic scarves
