Some dance/movement experience is recommended but is not required. If you are auditioning for “Seussical, Jr.”, this workshop will also help to get you “in shape” for dancing and allows you to get familiar with a variety of dance styles. Sat., August 23 from 9-11:00 a.m. The cost of this workshop is $30.00.
