While many extracurricular activities for elementary age children have been canceled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, The School of Ballet Arizona will keep kids engaged with a soon-to-launch, free interactive workshop that will get little bodies moving and creative juices flowing. The first class will focus on “Ballet Cat: The Totally Secret Secret” by Bob Shea. The event will take place on January 23, from 1-1:30 p.m.

“Read, Dance, Play” allows children ages 5-7 to listen and/or read along with a book of the month as they use movement to interpret and understand the story’s events and themes. Taught by School of Ballet Arizona Division Faculty Member, Rebecca Needhammer, these monthly interactive Zoom sessions allow kids to practice their listening, thinking and communication skills through words and movement.

“Please join us for a wonderful virtual opportunity for your young child to read along, dance and engage creatively with School of Ballet Arizona faculty,” Needhammer said. “We will take a contemporary children’s book and explore how it relates to us by using dance, music, and even props and costumes.”

Class spots are expected to fill up quick and registration is required. To sign your child up for “Read, Dance, Play!,” visit this site. Books are not provided but will be read aloud. If you would like to have your child follow along, links to purchase each book are available at the “Read, Dance, Play” landing page.
