TOP dance classes are coming to Aspendale Gardens this week with The Australian Ballet hosting four dance and movement workshops for preschoolers at the Aspendale Gardens Community Service hub.
The workshops, made possible thanks to a children’s week grant from Kingston Council, will give pre-schoolers aged 3-5 a taste of the joys of dance.
Australian Ballet senior education manager Katy McKeown said the Dancing Story workshops are a relatively new concept building on the classical ballet company’s previous experience in teaching ballet.
“We strongly believe in providing a variety of education programs which offer fun practical experiences that encourage development of physical and social skills through dance learning,” she said.
The workshops were loosely based on the story of Sleeping Beauty and featured music from the ballet.
