About

Arts & Minds is a Movement and Creative Arts Program offering Classes, Enrichments, and Camps to Children in Denver, Colorado. 
Movement  = Dance, Yoga, Fitness
Creative Arts  = Art, Sensory Play, Drama, Digital Media, Music, Creative Writing
Each Class is designed to incorporate both of these concepts to give your children a full mind and body experience. 

Our Mission is for children have a whole body/mind experience through non-verbal tools. We educate families and teachers in the hope they will utilize the skills learned in our trainings to better understand their child's experience. In classes, we provide children with skills to relate to each other and their community.

Arts & Minds has a "Give Back" component for each of our classes and camps. Our Goal is for children to experience being on the giving side of a gift. Through Creative Arts Projects we support our community through acts of kindness.

Founder

Rebecca Kanov

Creative Arts Therapist

Rebecca Kanov has been dancing her whole life. Not only has it been her passion and career focus, it has been her primary mode of self-expression.

Rebecca started her journey in Atlanta, teaching dance, fitness, and practicing body work. Graduate school sent her to New York City. She now has been teaching children, supporting and connecting families for over 25 years, the last 15 in Denver.  

Rebecca has worked with children of all ages using movement and creative arts in many different settings: including schools, treatment facilities, events, and in the studio. She has educated care givers and teachers on how to best connect with their littlest ones though creative arts therapy, bodywork, and movement. Connecting with these families and children has increasingly raised Rebecca’s awareness to the need for children to play and be in the moment in order to feel grounded and self-express. 

Each phase of her life brought new insight into her clients. Pregnancy, new “momdom,” parenting crazy toddlers, and supporting their mamas has all informed her curriculum and practice on how to best use creativity as a tool for self expression. 

After developing a training program and curriculum, she became more dedicated to the cause of implementing programming using movement and creative arts in traditional learning environments. 

Rebecca is available for staff education, trainings, and consultation. 

“Everyone is creative, and when we tap into that creativity, we get to play.”
