Each playshop ends with a visit from that week’s character and a showcase performance for family and friends. Our Workshops (age minimum varies) give kids the opportunity to meet new friends, learn new skills and have some fun! New this year, “A Swifty’s Paradise”, is sure to be a hit with any Taylor Swift fan. Other more traditional dance offerings include our Choreography and Dance Sampler Workshops.
