Children’s Dance Classes *New*
Thursdays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. – 11 a.m.
July 7 – August 31
Inspired by the natural movements of the human body, Isadora Duncan created a style of dance filled with joyful, rhythmical movements.  These skipping, running and leaping, as well as free, lyrical and expressive upper body movements make it a great activity for children.

Wear comfortable clothes which are appropriate for the weather. Footwear should be flexible and easy to move in, such as ballet flats or comfortable sandals. This class is for children ages 4-10. Parents are responsible for the supervision of  their children during the class.

Morgana Rose is a certified teacher and company member of The Isadora Duncan Dance Company with Artistic Director Lori Belilove.
