Sky Village NYC After School Arts Program is a unique opportunity for children 8 years and older to take part in weekly drawing and painting classes at Sky Village NYC, and kids Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu with Renzo Gracie black belt Ryan C. Quinn of Queens Jiu-jitsu (22-55 31st St. in Astoria, NY 11105).

 

Inspired by the "Yin Yang Theory" in Chinese Philosophy, we believe that greater physical, mental and emotional balance can be achieved through the practice of various art forms, proper nutrition and meditation.  Our children's program will largely focus on visual and martial arts. We will also engage in a daily 10 minute "mind break"or meditation to help our students calm their nervous systems and steady their focus. Children should demonstrate an aptitude for drawing and painting to participate.  Art methods that we will focus on include Origami, 3D drawing and painting.

 

We feel confident with our regular after school routine your child will make significant steps towards regaining a sense of control and adopt systems for long lasting happiness and wellbeing.

​

If your child is under the age of 10 years old we will arrange for one of our staff to pick your child up from school and walk directly to Queens Jiu-jitsu or Sky Village NYC (29th St.) for the afterschool program.
