About Creative Motion

"Children need to be aware of themselves as growing and changing beings.  Dance and movement play an important part in building this self-awareness and self-direction.  It has been proven that free large body movements set the brain in motion and increase children's ability to concentrate on "mental" subjects.  Remember, minds and spirits will improve, when bodies are allowed to move, move, MOVE!"

Dance and movement play is an important part in building self-awareness and self-direction and increases children's ability to concentrate.

Creative Motion was started by Mary Tiras in 1994 with a few select schools and has grown to include many after school programs in Houston, Texas. Her popularity has grown because her students enjoy her classes. Mary graduated with honors in English with a minor in Dance from the University of Houston in 1993. She then completed her teaching certification. Mary has also worked and volunteered part time at Travis Elementary School. You can contact Mary by e-mail at mary@creativemotion.com.

Creative Motion has classes to teach movement, expression, rhythm, and use of body in space.
