Kid's Dance                                                                          
Dancing is full of fun and great exercise for children and is a way of expressing your child's most artistic and creative needs and desires in a developmentally healthy way. Dance helps us to perceive and communicate who we are, fosters self confidence, increases self-esteem, and develops social skills. It also engages the whole person by simultaneously moving, thinking, and feeling, thus enhancing your child's physical, mental and emotional development. This workshop is designed for children age 6-13.  Held in Room B.

Hip Hop Dance
The Hip Hop dance workshop will consist of learning old and new upbeat Hip Hop dances that are performed at parties, concerts, and as "street dance." The sessions will include warm-up and cool-down techniques that are used to stretch, strengthen, and stimulate the muscles of the body. FUN is the key thing to keep in mind about this workshop! Though some of the movements and phrases will be taught with counts (e.g. 4/4 and cut-time), the goal is to be able to take these steps and transform them into how you move naturally; adding your own "flava!" Held in Room B.
