BDC Babies!

Broadway Dance Center has classes for all ages, even the littlest movers and shakers!

*Yogi Beans Yoga* is a program created by Lauren Rosenfeld, a certified yoga and Pilates instructor. Through the physical movements, your child will be introduced to yoga's true meaning: union, expression and honor for oneself. In addition to the physical poses, we will explore the spirit of yoga where the significance of positive thinking and the maintenance of a healthy positive self-image are emphasized. Sprinkled with music, picture books and other age-appropriate props, children will be introduced to the world of yoga and inspired to awaken their inner yogini!

*Creative Movement* is a one-hour class in ballet and tap that introduces both movement and rhythm in a fun, nurturing environment. Basic ballet positions are taught as well as basic tap technique.

Classes are Tuesday or Thursday 9:30-10:30 am for children 3-4 years old

Summer Intern Showcase at Party at Club Arena

Broadway Dance Center's Summer Interns ended their session on a high note when they showcased pieces at Club Arena in Manhattan Sunday night.
