Students are greeted with a warm up and welcome dance followed by a basic stretch. They are then guided through the basic positions of the feet and arms as well as a series of basic steps and proper terminology. Traveling across the floor is the next journey. Leaping and hopping over bridges, through gardens and around the rainbows! The class closes with a with a fun activity or story dance each week. This class is sure to capture the interest and imagination of your child!
