Here are the descriptions for the classes:

Dalcroze: Dalcroze Eurhythmics is an exciting and joyful form of music education. Dalcroze classes offer a hands-on approach to music theory in which students explore musical concepts such as meter, tempo, phrase, form and dynamics through rhythm games, purposeful movement, songs, ear training, sight-singing and improvisation. The playful atmosphere in classes promotes coordination, balance, movement vocabulary and active listening as well as independent and cooperative learning.

Creative Movement: This class focuses on introductory dance skills, motor skills, independence, self-expression, coordination and most importantly - FUN! Students learn to love the arts while engaging in lively activities, colorful props, exciting music and a celebration of personal accomplishments. In addition to the physical strength, balance and coordination. Students will be challenged to learn the principles of team work, classroom etiquette, social skills and confidence.
