DANCE DISCOVERIES

FAMILY DANCE

April 23, 30 & May 7, 14

Children will experience dance and its intimate connection to music in this parent child class.  Using music, props, and lots of pretend, Ms. Kris encourages children to move in new and imaginative ways that build coordination, balance, flexibility, and artistry.  The adults and older children serve as role models for the younger children who follow along in their own developmentally appropriate way.  Ms. Kris believes that artistry, like language, is best taught through immersion in the early years.
