Welcome, dear kiddos, to the wonderful, wintery state of Connecticut, lovingly known as CT! CT is a magical little rectangle nestled between New York and Massachusetts, where the mighty Connecticut River flows mightily and the majestic Long Island Sound sings its majestic song. Just like a giant, cozy blanket, it's sprinkled with frosty snowflakes during winter, perfect for our favorite chilly pastime - ice skating! Now, let's meet the coolest troop of ice skaters you'll ever know, the Chilly Chippers of CT! Led by their fearless penguin leader, Slippery Sid, they grace their way across frozen ponds, lakes, and specially made rinks, transforming them into magical snow-dusted arenas. Sid, with his shiny black top hat and a beak brighter than the morning sun, is a sight to see, always leading the way with his wobbly, waddling, wonderfully graceful ice dances. Imagine a gaggle of young Chilly Chippers, bundled up in technicolor jackets and woolly hats, zooming across the ice with Sid leading the way. With their rosy cheeks and twinkling eyes, they laugh and cheer, creating a magical melody that even the snowflakes seem to dance to. They fall, they rise, they glide, and they twirl, each mistake leading to a new move, each laugh echoing a sweet note of childhood joy. You see, in CT, we believe that every slip is just a new dance move waiting to be discovered. And every chilly chipper, whether they can land a perfect triple axle or simply stay upright, is a champion in their own right. So, lace up your skates, don your coziest scarf, and join Slippery Sid and the Chilly Chippers for an icy CT adventure you'll never forget!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
