Little Guppies

Parents of 3rd Graders-

Is your 3rd Grader interested in dance? Are they curious about musical theater? If so, please join the little dancers, who will be entertaining the crowd with a dance prior to both performances of the Little Mermaid Jr. on 1/26/24 and 1/27/24. We will be meeting weekly after school from 2:50pm to 4:00pm on mainly Wednesdays (some Thursdays) where we will be teaching them a short dance routine. It is a fun experience and gives students a taste of what performing in front of a crowd is like and exposes them to musical theater.
