DROP-AND-GO LOBBY
We have a "drop-and-go lobby". Unfortunately, there is simply not enough space in our lobby for parents to sit and watch. We have found this routine to be very successful for all of our young dancers. We have parent shares mid-session and last class.
ATTIRE:
- Comfortable clothing eg. leggings and a t-shirt). They are welcome to wear a leotard and ballet skirt but it is not mandatory!
- ballet/jazz shoes, or grippy socks (no barefeet)
- Hair pulled back
- Water bottle
