Prima Program: Mommy and MeList Item 1
The Dance Centre's "Mommy and Me" was created for dancers who are 18 months old - 2 years old. During the first semester of class, a parent or guardian will join their dancer for a variety of fun activites designed to encourage movement and introduce the world of dance to fresh faces.
Transitioning into the second semester, parents and guardians will become more of an observer for dance class. When it gets time for recital in May, the dancer will be on stage by themselves performing for all to see!
After one year of "Mommy and Me," the dancer will be equipped to conquer class the traditional way without the helping hand of a parent or guardian.
