Listen.Think.Leap! A Creative Movement Podcast — Education for Kids
Listen.Think.Leap! A Creative Movement Podcast

Listen.Think.Leap! is a creative movement podcast that introduces children to dance concepts, critical thinking, self regulation, body awareness and literacy skills through games and easy to follow movement instruction. At Listen.Think.Leap! we believe every child should have access to quality dance education and the tools to explore and build confidence in their creative voice through movement. We believe every child deserves the chance to engage in play based learning that doesn’t happen in front of a screen. We believe every grown up should have access to worry free learning resources for their children regardless of financial or time constraints. We believe with just a little bit of space to move and an internet capable device all of these are possible to achieve. At Listen.Think.Leap! we want to make it easy to say, “Keep dancing kids!”

New Listen.Think.Leap! episodes are coming soon!
In season 3, all episodes are switching over to our minutes to move break format where just one creative movement activity is featured so you can still dance even when you are racing between your daily scheduled activities whether it’s school, sports, music, arts or just hanging out with friends and family. Past themes like vibrant verbs, dance games, and dance dictionary elements will still be around, but instead of being in one long episode, they will be broken up over several smaller episodes. We will be adding new themes to some of our episodes including Dance Book Beats where we’ll talk about a great dance book for you to read and dance to and sensory steps, where we dance out our senses like touch, taste and smell.

Also new this season is a chance for you to be a part of the podcast. With a grown-up's permission, record yourself sharing your favorite way to dance whether it be jump, spin, leap, ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, modern, west african dance and send it in to podcast@listenthinkleap.com - I want to hear from you! You can also become a supporter of this podcast and get exclusive early access to episodes, monthly bonus episodes, and thank you shout out when you first join.
