Children and their parents and caregivers can enjoy moving to music together!

Additional instructors such as Kristen Kingsley from Longmont Dance Theatre Academy also will be able to join us and lead the children in dance and song!

This class is contains primarily direct instruction, so you will have the best experience if you arrive for the beginning of the class start time, so that you and your child can participate along with the instructor's direction. Classes start at 9 a.m., 10:30 a.m., and 1 p.m., and will run about 45 minutes long.

This class is self-directed exploration in an art classroom space. Ms. Leigh provides guidance to children and families, assists with one-on-one skill acquisition, and plays with the children to help them learn and grow. This class allows for late arrival, but there is an attendance maximum for each session.
