Wild in Wellness

Hi! My name’s Alex Wild and I’m the founder and director of Wild in Wellness.

Around here, we believe in movement that meets your child exactly where they are at.

And that belief didn’t come out of nowhere, it’s been shaped by over 15 years of dancing, many seasons competing, and years of teaching movement to dancers of all ages.

Through all this dancing, I saw some kids thriving, and I saw others feel like they didn’t fit in within the studio.

because they didn’t understand moves the way they were traditionally taught. Or they weren’t able to stand at the barre for an hour. Or were they were taught that the value of movement was in the reflection that you saw.

Somestimes, even when we try to make our movement accessible, the way we’re teaching it still isn’t.

Here at Wild and Wellness, we take an inclusive neurodivergent, affirming approach to teaching movement. Our classes are sensory-based, play -based and sometimes even child led.

In our classes or workshops, we still learn all the movement fundamentals, the elements of dance, and sometimes even choreography, but is in the way that we teach and approach each child that we find the uniqueness in how every child learns and moves.

With this philosophy, we bring the joy of movement to schools, community events, private workshops, studio spaces, theatre performers and more!

Thanks for being here as we step into another season. Join us this fall and experience movement that meets your child where they are at 💛

This is what movement with Wild and Wellness all about!!!

So grateful to be partnering with Nurturing Behaviours Inc. for this ABA lead dance program the power of movement and ABA strategy.

we are currently offering three different ways to move with us this fall:

1:1 classes!
30 minute sessions, thoughtfully designed around your child this could be learning a new specific skill, moving to a specific soundtrack or building on a focused, gross motor skill.

The Movement Playground!
this class focusses on child lead exploratory movement with many sensory friendly often points. Starting together in a welcoming circle and gentle warm-up, we moved into themed movement invitations, which children explore through guided play and prompts.

Creative Movement!
A more structured supportive class environment that builds participation in group environments in building confidence in movement patterns, and foundational dance skills. Starting with mindfulness and our community circle, class will be guided through creative exercises and dance concepts, finishing with a fun activity that brings it all together!

Classes running as 8 week programs starting this fall!

Drop a comment if interested in this type of movement exploration, or send me a DM and let’s chat about which class is best for your child!

So lucky to be surrounding by so many great creatives and movement leaders in our community! 🫶
