“I like to dance around!” ~ Georgia, Song & Dance Participant

preschool, kids and teens Two-year-old Georgia loves to entertain her family at home with all the fun things she learns in class, especially her fave, The Wiggle Wiggle Dance and The Good Morning Song.

“It’s a wonderful opportunity for children and their caregivers to bond in a fun and different way and meet other families,” says Mom. “She can’t wait to go to class with her Grandma and see Teacher Jen and all the kids.”
