Children’s Dance Classes
Taking place in Upper Norwood Library Hub at the heart of Crystal Palace, South East London this class is a real adventure!
We start with fun warm ups and practice our steps, moving on to some simple routines and group exercises. We make it fun through the use of props and songs, allowing the children to experiment with new movements each week. The class ends with learning a dance routine which we share with parents and carers at the end of the term.
