About the Class

Leaps & Strides 10:10 – 10:50, 4-5 years
Leaps & Strides will encourage your little ones to express themselves freely through movement. Children attend this creative dance class without an adult, and Robyn and Olly create a safe and nurturing environment for them to explore energetic movement independently for the first time. Through exciting themes and stories your child will learn new moves and dynamics, and even learn short movement phrases.
