Under the direction of Artistic Director, Lisa Kim Sanborn, and Children’s Division Director, Timothy Fountain, young dancers are introduced to the joy of movement using their whole bodies. Dancers enjoy making good friends while building strength and endurance through exercises designed for developing bodies and minds. Dancers also learn coordination and how to stretch while moving gracefully.
