with Amanda Stanger-Read and Lesley Kabza Criscenti
For Preschoolers and Kindergartners (4-6 yrs.) Children will begin each day with a Creative Movement class with Amanda Stanger-Read and then move on to an Art class with Lesley Criscenti.

Campers should come in comfortable dance clothes that they can move in (no jeans) and bring a snack and a smock.
