Other Details

Parental Guidance
For the Dancing Portion of class, please create a space that is open and large enough for your dancer to move, dance, jump and glide without bumping into things. Learners should wear comfortable clothing that they can easily move in. Ballet or Fancy Attire is encouraged, but not required. Learners should either wear ballet shoes or have bare feet. Please no socks, as dancers can easily slip while wearing them. Dancers may have a water bottle nearby, and take a sip when needed. Please help your learner know how to mute and unmute themselves. There could be times during the class when this skill is needed. The craft includes the use of scissors, please have safety scissors available for your learner, and help them to know how to make a small cut. The craft also includes twisting pipe cleaners, and coloring with markers. Coffee filters are thin by nature, if you are concerned about markers bleeding through, please take appropriate measures.
