Cleaning up in our last class with the Jig Together crew. These little dancers and their big people have learned and grown so much.

Little steps from this growing dancer! She started at Kaleidoscope Studio in a Jig Together class when she was 4 months old. She has learned amazing rhythm and has shown a real desire to dance.
