Other Details
Parental Guidance
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. Unicorn attire is encourage, but not required. Learners should either wear jazz shoes, ballet shoes or have bare feet. Please no socks, as dancers can easily slip while wearing them. We will begin by sitting on the floor to stretch, and then move to standing for the remainder of the class.
External Resources
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
