• Increase body awareness, comfort, mobility, balance, and flexibility. • Relieve stress. • Improve sleep and breathing. • Reduce pain from injury or repetitive stress. • Address challenges that can result from neurological conditions, chronic pain, arthritis, and other conditions.

Project Commotion (PC) is a community space where children, families and educators are invited to learn and grow together through movement, sensory experiences, and play. We aim to impact the community through our work by offering free or low-cost services to children and families in financial need.
PC offers classes that incorporate movement, tumbling, music, play, dance, and martial arts as a means of fostering healthy development, self-awareness and self-expression. Private, semi-private and small group classes are available for children, and community workshops are offered for adults. PC serves as a foundation of support and information for parents, educators, and other professionals working with children, by providing seminars, workshops, and hands-on experiences in movement. By increasing the level of awareness throughout our community, Project Commotion brings about a vital change in the way that adults can support children's learning and development.
