Does your child love to dance, but also need time to chat? In this Social Club, we will watch a YouTube video of a dance clip, followed by discussion among the learners. Dance topics will vary each week, and could include dance history, current dance trends, or world dance forms. This instructor-facilitated, learner-led discussion group will broaden the children's knowledge of dance styles and history, while giving them the opportunity to develop social skills with other children with similar interests. The children will be encouraged to interact with the instructor and with each other, with discussions inspired by, but not limited to the material presented in class.
