In 2024 I took a skeleton to class and decided to put him in yoga poses. Skelly yoga was born! The kids loved it so much that they began to ask me all year round where Skelly was. Sooooo I had to write a book. My illustrator Sylvia Masek is so talented. Coming 2026 🤩

My Story

Movement Joy Company is an enrichment program tailored specifically to fit your schools day or after care program, directed and taught by me, Terese Galinas.

I have 20 years experience as a dance educator and choreographer, with a Bachelor of Arts in dance from the University of Akron. I teach many forms of dance; Ballet, Creative Movement, Tap, Acrobatic Tumble, Jazz, Cheer, and Aerobic Exercise. I work with students age 2 through adult, with an emphasis on pre-school and elementary age technique building and choreography. My passion lies with this age because I find that beginning technique and creative movement early helps cultivate a positive body image, a healthy lifestyle and confidence that will cross over into everyday life. Children who feel confident thrive in all areas of development!

I believe strongly in nurturing self expression, while teaching acceptance, promoting respectfulness, and uplifting the classroom as a whole through teamwork and praise. I have found that schools benefit greatly from enrichment programs that include a guided repetition of big motor skills, balance, coordination, strength, flexibility, right/left brain cooperation, cardio health, and appreciation of the arts.
