Each class is 30 minutes.
Prerequisite: Class limited to girls ages 6 through 10. Parents are welcome to view the class or join in. Coffee and tea provided for parents.
Description: Classes are designed for children and will cover basic technique, simple props, and a short choreography. The focus is on having fun while exercising, building positive self-esteem and improving cultural awareness. In the adult world, people who are skilled at public speaking have many great job opportunities open to them. Pending parent and child interest, student performance opportunities may be made available in the future to help children learn how to be comfortable in front of an audience, building a very valuable job skill for a girl's future.
Parents are welcome to observe the class so they can assist their daughter in practice at home.
