Introduction to Dance is designed to develop coordination, rhythm, and a love for music and movement. The goal of a child’s first steps in dance is to encourage artistic expression. Introduction to Dance gives children the opportunity to learn to dance in an informal setting with emphasis on creativity, fun and the joy of movement.
