Parental Guidance
Though this class focuses more on acting than dance, we still move our bodies. With that in mind please ensure that your learner has enough space to stand and move around and is wearing proper footwear. We will warm-up together at the beginning of each class. Feel free to have a water bottle on hand as well just in case it's needed. Thank you!
