Ribbon Dancing
Key Assets believes all children and young people deserve to thrive and connect to family, community, and culture, and have opportunities to express themselves through the arts.
Join Key Assets for a joyful ribbon dancing experience! Children will receive their own ribbon and learn basic figures, including spirals, circles, and snakes. This engaging activity encourages imagination, creative self-expression, and develops coordination and flexibility.
