Dancing Bears Music is an early childhood music program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them.

Children learn best through play, so Miss Chrisie is specially trained to foster an enjoyable, easy atmosphere where adults can relax as they play musically with their children.

By providing a CD/DVD and Mini Tote to take home, we also inspire spontaneous music-making as a regular part of your everyday family life.

about...

Mrs. Karen Wojciak

Teacher

Hi, my name is Karen Wojciak, and I am currently teaching Dancing Bears Music classes at the Brick Township Recreation Center.  I have a degree in Elementary Education from Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania.  After graduating college I taught at a local elementary school for 7 years. 

Music has always been a huge part of my life, I have played piano since age 7 and loved participating in church and school choirs during my younger years.  I have been happily married now for almost 10 years and have two beautiful children.   Since becoming a mom I have decided to work part-time for few years, and that is what led me to Dancing Bears. 

I love singing and dancing with my adorable students each week, the best reward is watching their love of music grow right before my eyes.  I am so happy to be a part of such an amazing program!

My name is Erica Schneider and I have been leading Dancing Bears Music classes for three years.  This has been a great experience and the children are truly a joy to work with.

My educational background includes a degree in Music Therapy as well as graduate credits in Education and Special Education.  I have been a music teacher in private schools, special needs schools, summer camp and adult education programs.  Along with Dancing Bears, I currently teach private piano lessons.

Chrisie has provided a wonderful music program that engages the children from the first note right to the goodbye song.  What is so fascinating is to see children of different ages come together and learn through music while having so much fun.  Each week is filled with songs, rhythm, growth and creativity from both the students and their caregivers.  I learn something new in every class and am grateful to be a part of this dynamic program.
