At the Y, are youth classes are designed to keep children and young adults active and happy. Youth who learn that movement can be fun and discover new interests feel better, are healthier, gain confidence, and stay motivated for life.
In this class, we explore holistic movement and develop our individual movement skills to music and rhythm in a playful manner.
