The Program: | |
| The Mommy & Me Workout! curriculum was developed by Apphia Laune Noel, renowned ballerina from the New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, and many other dance schools. She has spent the last ten years teaching moms and children how to dance, bond, and have fun in class while getting in shape. She combines classical ballet, jazz, and Yoga-style acrobatic techniques to provide a well-rounded program that both moms and children enjoy doing together. She believes that when learning physical activities at a young age, mother-child relationships are important for creating a safe and secure learning environment where the child will flourish. | ||
