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. Mermaid 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 reading our story, then moving to sitting on the floor to stretch, and then to standing for the remainder of the class. Students may be muted during class. Students may need to know how to "mute" or "unmute" themselves.
