KID'S ZONE CLASSES (Kids ages 8-12)
Kids love to move. Activities that are more "fun" than "exercise" encourage children to get moving and keep moving. The key is to find exercise that isn't exercise!
Dance and play are two ways that children move naturally. In play and dance, children expand their understanding of themselves and others. Dance encourages children to develop their imagination, social skills, self-expression and coordination.
They hear the music, feel the rhythm, and before they know it, they’re dancing!
Through the Butler Community School's Kid's Zone, kids have a variety of ways to play and dance, to be more physically active and to meet new friends. The dance and fitness classes at the BCS Kid's Zone provide a creative and intense form of exercise...all while having fun!
Ballet Austin's BCS Kid's Zone offers dance and fitness classes for kids between the ages of 8 and 12.
