Hello friends! We are BedStuy Movement, a safe place for the development of physical, social, and emotional wellness. Born and raised in the heart of Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn, our founder is a doctor of occupational therapy, specializing in childhood development and the implications of improved function on school performance and everyday activities. While working with the adult population, Dr. Laryssa also specializes in spiritual wellness as it intersects with improved quality of life and function as it relates to management of mental and physical chronic illness.

Every service offering at BedStuy Movement promotes the wellbeing of the whole physical, social, and emotional person. Services promote the progression of skills according to each child’s natural next developmental step.

 

Here, everyone can be immersed in a curriculum of self- guided growth, within activities that they can relate to and grow confidence in, through mastery. It is so important that everyone have opportunities to strengthen and keep fit bodies, activities that they can feel competent in, and activities that facilitate connection. It is just as important for us to identify our feelings and work through big emotions as they come.

 

Here, we give that space and opportunity to kids, ages 5 through 12.  We cultivate growth and development, engaging them in dance education, technique, and free expression. We also offer sports education through basketball to develop their personal fitness, as well as coordination, focus, team and character building. We focus on character building within activities that children can relate to, and find passion in.

All genders and skill levels are welcome at all basketball and dance sessions. Encourage your kiddos to explore new adventures while connecting with new friends from their neighborhood! Spreading love in the Brooklyn way.
