In this class, children gain an understanding about moving their bodies in different ways with a variety of different activities. We dance, tumble, stretch and explore creativity all while learning to listen, follow directions, and take turns. We also use different props such as wands, ribbons, and bean bags to teach about rhythm, and music. Our 30 minute class is full of fun to keep up with the changing attention of 2 year olds.
