Elite Dance Center in RVC (www.elitedancentre.com) offers an Intro to Dance Class for 2 year olds!  This 45 minute class is currently accepting registration.  Classes are available Monday - Saturday from 9:30 to 10:15am.  Miss Colleen said you can try out a class, but just check prior to the first week (Sept 13th) to make sure there is a class running on the day you would like a trial. Miss Colleen is very nice!  Contact the Dance Center at 536-1720.
 
Children's Dance at Sportime

I wanted to let all the MOMs know about the children's dance program at Sportime in Lynbrook. I am a former MOMs member and have been running the program at Sportime for 11 years now. We offer classes for ages 2-teen and the emphasis is on fitness and fun! We DO NOT do a recital so we are able to work on so many things throughout the semesters. Come and try our Magical Moves with Mommy (2-3 year olds), Broadway Babes (4 year olds), Kinderbop Combo (5 year old) or any of our cool hip- hop classes for FREE!!
Please contact Sportime at Lynbrook @ 887-1330 or Teresa Alimo @ 816-6662 for more info.  Thank you.

Music Together

Music Together offers mixed age classes for infants through 5 years old.  The mixed age classes are great for bringing siblings to the same class.  It is also a good opportunity for the children to learn from each other.  There are fall, spring, and summer classes, each with a different focus and type of music.  Parents are expected to participate and model for their children.  You'll receive two CDs (one for home and one for the car) and a book of the music.  It's a really wonderful program!

Music Together classes at St. Mark's in Rockville Centre.  Information can be found at http://whiletheyrelittle.com/Schedule.html.

Music Together classes at Broadway Bound dance studio in Valley Stream (on Merrick Rd. across from Valbrook Diner).  Information can be found athttp://instepmusictogether.com

Swim Lessons

Another place for swim lessons is Swim N' Scuba (http://www.swimandscuba.com/swmain.html).  The classes there are really enjoyed. Small groups, reasonable prices. 

Dance Class

Oceanside Dance Academy (www.oceansidedance.com) has a Saturday morning class for 2-3 year olds.  It is an amazing place with lots of parking.


Kidnastics






















Lil Sluggers  Baseball for Ages 2-5!
Sports activities are an integral part every child's physical and social development.  Lil Sluggers is designed to make fitness fun while your child develops self-confidence, baseball skills and joy for the game.
