Mini Dance Masters  geared toward three year old “budding ballerinas”.  Focus is on creative movement and imagery related to being a ballerina.  Students will enjoy a half hour of fun and dance games.   This introduction to dance is a perfect compliment to the Mini-Masters art class next door at My Masterpiece Art Studio, which is held just prior to Mini Dance Masters class. (10:30-11:00 a.m.)   An excellent hour of art and dance for the young artist!Mini Dance Masters
