Our goal is to provide free and/or low cost lessons and workshops incorporating active participation by all or most participants using cooperative exercises, movement activities, games, and dance/drama experiences tailored to meet each group's needs. The focus is on respect, diversity, healthy attitudes, motivating participants, and culminating in a sharing experience with the arts. The Group's Directors, Karen Pasquel and Gwen Sandt, as well as the group's participants all volunteer their planning, rehearsal, and performance time. Our umbrella organization is Children Helping Children, Inc., a nonprofit organization which benefits ill and/or needy Lehigh Valley children. Children Helping Children, Inc. has been able to assist area youth through various donations and fundraising efforts.
“The Movement C.A.R.E.S.” group was created in an effort to share and expand the ideals of movement and exercise, in conjunction with, living a healthy lifestyle using the performing arts as a teaching medium.
