MOMMY & ME
Now that your child can walk, why not start dancing? This introductory ballet class uses the basics of ballet in a simple and playful way. Pilé, twirl, and jump in this exciting and magical dance class. Children develop balance and coordination while dancing, playing, and learning. We use creative movement techniques and playful activities to help build their confidence and spark their love for dance. The teacher goes over basic steps to help start your child's understanding of transitions from one activity to the next; while they interact with their mom or caregiver the entire class. Moms and caregivers will get a workout as well, which is always a plus! We promise this will keep your child smiling and engaged the whole class.
