Stories and Movement with Metropolitan Ballet Theater

This 45-min. monthly REGISTRATION program will engage children in creative movement in connection with a story of the day. REGISTRATION REQUIRED!

*REGISTRATION REQUIRED!* Please register one time for each family. Space is limited.

In this monthly program with the Metropolitan Ballet Theatre, kids ages 2-6 and their grownups will participate in an engaging creative movement-style program in connection to a chosen story of the day read aloud in class.

Children will focus on stretches, gross motor movements, and get a peek into basic ballet technique, all while expressing themselves creatively!

Class involves the use of music and fun props including dots, cones, and scarves.

At least one grown-up should be in attendance with a child/children.

Each class is 45-minutes long. Participants should wear comfortable clothing that is easy to move in.
