Springstep Offers Youth Classes

Children can explore song, dance, new languages and more

Registration for Springstep’s youth classes opens today for classes beginning in March and April 2011. Springstep is a nonprofit arts organization that fosters active community participation in dance, movement and music. The spring session offers diverse classes for children of all ages to get them moving, singing, learning, and having fun!

Children ages 18 months to three years can take part in Sing-A-LingoTM and Arabic Mommy & Me, classes that introduce children and their caregivers to a new language through music and dance. Nationally renowned program Music Together® is designed to immerse children as young as one month and as old as five and their caregiver in the exciting world of music and rhythm. Creative Movement invites children ages 4 to 7 to explore dance and movement while Rhythm KidsTM learn concentration and cooperation through hand drumming. School-age children and teens can enroll in Ballet and Hip Hop classes to learn technique and coordination while having a blast with other young people and our experienced teachers. Small class sizes allow instructors to provide personalized attention and assistance.
