The Cary Park District dance program is focused on fun. Students will gain new friendships, increased confidence, and have an outlet to be creative. Dancing is a great way for children to exercise, increase flexibility, strength, and endurance, and develop a sense of well-being.
Children should wear comfortable shoes to the first class. Instructors will inform you of shoe type at that time. All dancers, except those in the 2-year old classes, must be potty trained before the start of the program.
