Dr. Joe does an amazing job of creating a positive and energetically learning environment where kids are encouraged to actively participate from the second they walk into the room. Students are able to move, sing and laugh as well as think and reflect in this completely interactive class that focuses on total wellness as it weaves through high energy, heart rate elevating, music and dance and finishes with calming and relaxing mindfulness exercises. An outstanding combination of physical, mental and social-emotional health centered around movement and music. Dr. Joe was a perfect choice for our third and fourth grade physical education and music classes. We highly recommend this program and will be looking to bring it back to our school in future years!
