Introducing Professor Pirouette (TM)

Miss Lindsey created the Professor Pirouette (TM) program to engage children in academics through dance! This program follows N.C. Curriculum Standards and will focus on literacy, mathematics and science, and learning grade-specific concepts through dance — moving, reading, choreography, and more.  

This program has been in the works for years and we are excited to offer in within our camp curriculum! Here are some examples of the Professor Pirouette curriculum, by grade:
