This is the year to have a great time and make new friends. Some classes are already in progress and many new classes are now forming. Sign up early and bring your smile!
Our performing arts schedule includes a large number of new possibilities for children of all ages. One of the new classes is called “HoopDance”. This is the latest craze in California and we are fortunate to have a certified instructor in this VERY FUN CLASS. The kids will dance with hula hoops. When the young lady showed us how this class would work, we had a bunch of children here and they are all wanting to take the class. We are offering this class only once a week to start – Thursday evenings from 8-9pm.
The HoopDance class can also be a HoopFit class for children and their parents. If we find interest in this form of dance/fitness, we will establish new classes for both HoopDance and HoopFit.
Our Music offerings include guitar, piano, violin and recorder (a precursor to woodwind instrumentals), choir, musical theater and guitar ensemble.
Our Dance offerings include Ballroom, HoopDance, Modern, Tap and Hip-Hop for both boys and girls, as well as Zumba-Inspired for adults.
We are also offering Theater, Acting and Theater Games.
ON ANOTHER NOTE:
During the summer, Leftovers, etc. entered into a partnership with the Pujols Family Foundation. We are offering performing arts classes and “enrichment clubs” to children with Down Syndrome who reside in the metropolitan area. If you know of children with Down Syndrome, whether they are members of the Pujols Family Foundation or not, they are welcome to participate in the program we have developed for Foundation children and adults. Please have their parents contact me for further information.
We look forward to having you and your children participate in our programs.
