Flexibility, strength and coordination are all necessary for Chinese dance. To prepare the students for new and challenging dances we are opening a wugong class. This class will meet on Thursday from 6:25 to 7:25 in rooms 1&2 and is for students ages 7-12. This is a fast moving, advanced class, so instructor permission is necessary. Additionally this class requires students to wear tights or tight pants, to wear ballet shoes, and as always to have their hair pulled back off their face and neck.
If you have a yoga mat, please bring it to class.
