Join us for a fun and engaging dance.
Dance is a fantastic way to enhance a child’s physical development by encouraging the use of motor skills, balance, coordination, and muscle strength. The repetitive movements and patterns in dance also help children gain control over their bodies and improve their spatial awareness.
Dancing can also encourage healthy bonding and communication between child and parent, it is also a fun way for the parent to get active and physical in a more joyful environment.
Taking place every Thursday at 10.30am – 11.30am
