We are excited to announce the start of Dreamweavers' Music and Movement Classes!

Classes are taught by board certified Music Therapist, Laura Hancock and take place every Wednesday from 3:30-4:15pm at the Bradley Center.  The center is also reserved from 3-5pm for free play.

This class includes physical exercise to live and recorded music. Exercise targets upper and lower body, activities to slowly increase hear rate, fine and gross motor skills, stretching, relaxation, and cool down.

Classes are free for all Dreamweavers CAP consumers with their CAP staff present. There is a $5 fee, due upon arrival to class, for anyone else who would like to participate.
