You can have your pre-teen introduced to the art of dance starting next month. With the increased interest expressed by older kids for the dance program, the Door County YMCA is adding new classes for children 10 to 13 years old for the Fall I session. Dance Instructor Amber Novotny says children as young as two-years-old can participate and gain the benefits of dancing. She notes that it provides a confidence booster for many kids.
The dance program incorporates areas of ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, and poms. Registration for Fall I Sessions begins on August 22 for members and August 24 for community members, with classes starting on September 6.
