KEEP IN SHAPE THIS
SUMMER WITH KELLY!
“It can be a shock to your child’s system to jump back into fall activities after summer break,” says Kelly McCormick Bangs, kinesiologist and professional dancer who is the Creative Arts modern instructor. “A proven best practice is to keep a ‘low burn’ of training and structure over the summer.”
Here are Saturday classes — tuition is $50 each — scheduled for June 3, 10, 17, and 24:
• Creative Movement, ages 3-8
• Conditioning Dance Sampler, – ages 8-15
• Barre Fitness, for ages 15 and over
