Ballet and tap are two fun and exciting types of dance! In ballet, you’ll learn to move gracefully, stretch, and jump like a dancer, while also pretending to be different animals or characters. Tap dance is all about making cool rhythms with your feet by tapping them on the floor to create sounds. In our class, you’ll get to try both ballet and tap, while making new friends and having lots of fun dancing to music! It’s a great way to express yourself, get active, and feel like a star on stage!
