Dance Me a Story tapped for SCC

A creative movement class to introduce kids to dance basics kicks off Oct. 9 at the Sonoma Community Center.

In Dance Me a Story, Katrena Cohea will offer dance activities inspired by popular children’s stories. Each class will begin with story time, followed by an exploration of movement guided by the day’s tale. Students will use props, music and games to learn dance techniques and build motor skills, core strength and musicality.

The class, for kids age 3 to 5, will meet Fridays through Nov. 13 from 10 to 10:45 a.m.

Cohea has been trained in ballet, modern and contemporary dance at the San Francisco Conservatory of Dance and was a member of the Brisas de Espana Spanish and Flamenco dance company. She has taught locally in Sonoma for three and a half years and says she enjoys introducing young students to the world of dance.
