| Creative Movement ages 3-5 This class introduces children to the world of dance in fun and creative ways. Using age appropriate lessons to encourage dance as a form of self-expression and fun physical fitness, young children strengthen motor skills, improve coordination, enhance socialization skills and empower the imagination through dance!
