This is an interactive parent (or adult friend) and toddler class, where the adult will help the little dancer by guiding them through the movements of dance class. We have fun playing, skipping, stretching, singing, tumbling, and of course, DANCING!
Students will learn basic dance movements while developing cognitive skills. During this class colors, numbers, and dance terminology will be introduced and applied to weekly lessons.
