Creative Movement (ages 2-3) 

Creative Movement will run as a six week session, four times a year. You may register for one or all four sessions. The class will be held weekly and run 30 minutes. This is a great way to introduce dance basics to your little one. The class will focus on balance, flexibility, rhythm, beginner dance moves and your child's imagination. Dancers will need a basic leotard, tights (boys in sweatpants and t-shirt) and basic ballet shoes.  Parents are welcome to stay (please wear comfy clothes).
