Class Description
Kat loves teaching beginner level to all ages. “The first year is where the magic happens.” Kat teaches an energizing class following a level one syllabus. Utilizing fun games, the children will learn both the names of steps and be able to count them. They will learn stage directions and be able to dance in and out of formations as well as moving across the floor. Basic musicality is incorporated throughout, culminating with an end of the year performance.
