Dear Parent,
I’m so glad you’ve chosen Mommy & Me Dance Class. I know you and your little one are sure to enjoy it!
For your child:
The Mommy & Me Dance class will introduce basic dance skills and focus on developing rhythm, balance, coordination, flexibility, and strength. We use instruments, scarves, and other props as we dance around the studio and have fun learning to move to the music. The stretches and movements and designed for the children but they may need a little help from their parent.
For you (the parent):
The great thing about the Mommy & Me Dance class is that you can get from it as much or as little exercise as you want. We start the class with simple stretching and move on to running, hopping, sliding and leaping across the floor. Then we do imaginative dances like playing the freeze dance, animal dance, etc. You can choose to stretch and move around a lot, or you can focus on helping your child and take the class slow.
For you both:
This class is perfect for spending quality time with your little one. It is also a great opportunity for socializing. Moms are welcome to come a few minutes early or stay a few minutes after class to get to know each other. The kids will love being surrounded by and interacting with their peers.
It is common for children (and possible for parents) to feel shy the first time they try the class. If this is the case, the child will cling to the parent or may want to sit and watch for a little while. That is totally fine. Usually this same child will be having a ton of fun if not by the end of class then by the next week!
If you ever have any questions, comments, or concerns please contact me by phone 803-586-1447 or email jkruidenier@sc.rr.com.
Thanks and see you soon!
Ms. Jen
