BrainDance

The BrainDance, a set of activities created by Anne Green Gilbert, is often used into our CDC lessons. It
consists of eight different types of movement that all healthy infants go through throughout their initial
year of life. It's a kind of moving meditation that helps you find your center so your brain can get some
fresh air and go back to work. The BrainDance helps us develop good study habits and social graces.

Benefits of the BrainDance

 Increased blood and oxygen flow to the respiratory system and brain:
 Enhanced core support, connectivity, and alignment:
