Happy Feet Dance: Winter2 - CLOSED

Tuesdays 5:00 - 5:45pm 💃🏻 Age 3-5yrs 🕺🏻 Feb 27 - Mar 26  (5 wks)

Bring your little dancer for a fun-filled, action-packed dance class for both girls & boys.

Your child will enjoy a variety of dance & music styles from classical ballet & traditional dances around the world to party dances like the The Chicken Dance & disco at the Y-M-C-A!

Individual, partner, and group dances learned in class foster self-confidence, self-expression, cooperation, sharing, turn-taking, and a joyful sense of community with new friends.

Stories, props, instruments, & costume accessories engage your child’s imagination and make learning to dance FUN!
