Spring Youth Classes 2024

REGISTER HERE KIDS CREATE! “THE MAGICAL MYSTERIOUS GARDEN”  
Saturdays, April 13 – June 1 (8 weeks)
2:00 – 5:00 PM
Ages: 4 – 9
Instructor: Liz Hayden
Tuition: $260

While practicing through games, play, art, music, and dance, students will discover their inner creativity. Class will be held in the ballet studio which is designed for easy distance awareness. Students will conclude the Spring session with a performance/demo to be performed on the last day of class. Students will be having fun improvising, creating, and playing together each class day. 

Each day, campers will meet outside on the front deck to check-in. Once everyone arrives, the class will go down to the studio together as a group, limiting hallway crowding. At the end of the day, this will be the same protocol. Remember to bring a snack and get ready to have a wonderful time.
