Tiny Steps

Celebrate your child’s natural ability to move in an expressive way with this creative movement and music class. The 45-minute class is designed to engage children and their caregivers through group and individual participation in fun, playful dance exercises. Through the guidance of the instructor, children explore imaginative movement using props, which helps enhance the connection between dance, rhythm, and music.

_{A parent/guardian must chaperone their child during Tiny Steps classes. Only one parent/guardian is permitted per child. Drop-ins are available on a weekly basis in addition to the session course registration—parents are encouraged to register in advance.}
