Creative Movement (ages 2 - 3)

30 minute weekly class

This class introduces your child to the skills needed in dance class. Students will learn how to follow instructions and use equipment (hoops, bean bags, balance beam), and begin the basics of ballet movement (stretching, jumping, motor skills, and more). Our staff keeps this class fun with high energy and creative ideas.
