As you arrive, the Creative Movement dancers will assemble in the Green Room. The CLASS MOM will be waiting in the Green Room to welcome your child. The Green Room has carpet, tables, chairs, and sofas. These young dancers stay in this room when they are not on stage. The TV in this room monitors the stage and the children can watch what is going on. The CLASS MOMs stay with the children. Snacks and water will be available after they dance, as well as puzzles, crayons and coloring books. Sometimes the CLASS MOMs organize games with the dancers.
