DANCERS’ ROLES
Each class will be performing a dance choreographed to a song inspired from around the world. On the day of the performance students are separated by their class dance. It is very important that you know what dance AND performance (11am, 2pm or both) your child is in.
Below are the class times and dancers’ roles:
