    Pre-K and Me Discover

    2+ Years Old

    This is where it all begins! Pre-K and Me Dance Discovery is for children two to three years old and a parent or guardian to shake, laugh and dance together. Through exploration and play-based learning, children are introduced to the joys of movement and music. This class enables young children to meet and interact with other children the same age, learn about taking turns and make new friends.
