Arizona Renaissance Festival way for them to use their energy, learn, socialize, create, and dance in a safe, fun, and educational space! I have my masters degree in dance, have taught professionally for 8+ years, and danced professionally all over the world. Comfortable movement clothes. Tights, leotard, tutus optional. Creativity and fun encouraged! Jazz shoes, ballet shoes, or socks are encouraged instead of bare feet. Please message Gina Carli on Facebook with questions. Children's Dance Class and Talent Show Rehearsal! Mondays 2-3pm starting Monday after opening weekend @ Juggler's Pointe $5 per child per class Talent show participation optional. All children welcome ages 2 and up. Younger kids must be potty trained and mature. 2-3-year-olds are welcome to come and stay for part of the class or try the whole hour as we see what their attention spans can handle. If your child will only do half the class please come at the beginning, not half way through. Our main focus will be making up a dance for the talent show (though it will be fun and educational even if they don't want to do the talent show). Through this we will cover some ballet, jazz, lyrical, hip hop, hula, improvisation, and choreography. We are making a Moana piece! Possibility to add one or two extra classes if the kids feel they need/want extra rehearsal the week or two before the show.

Well with this year's flu epidemic hitting AZ particularly hard it's a good idea to take some precautions. Get some hand sanitizer and use it often, particularly after touching children or anything in the privy. Wipe down those pipes you pass around with an alcohol swab before taking a toke. And all that hugging, sheesh, give it a rest.
