Just for Kix |
We understand that kids are busy and want to try things before they dive in deep. We hear parents when they say that they want dance classes with top-notch EMC quality, but without the commitment that comes with rehearsal schedules and a big performance. Just for Kix is a dance program that will fit into your child’s busy life. This 8-week program with two weekly classes to choose from, is sure to be something that will interest them and tick the “dance” box off the list of activities. Don’t worry. This is not one of those low-quality recreational dance programs you may have encountered where the kids are poorly behaved and the class content is watered down and practically useless. This is after all, an EMC program, so you can bet it’s going to be inspiring and well-planned out, and full of positive energy
