“My daughter has loved participating in the parent+ me class at Dance With ME. They are very understanding when toddlers can’t focus the entire time. The class is structured in a way that there are several different parts where the kids participate using scarves, bells and shakers, and a parachute. We love to go to the Parent + Me class, and it’s the perfect time between morning snack and lunch .”
