We'll integrate our exploration of different storybook themes and characters with fundamental dance styles including jazz, ballet, hip hop, tap and creative movement. Students will practice vital skills in reading comprehension, memorization and performance while engaging in the joy of dance.
This class concludes with a Family Observation Day on the final week of class.
