SARATOGA SPRINGS – In celebration of National Dance Day, the National Museum of Dance will offer “Tip Tap Toe: Story, Dance and Play” on Saturday, September 21 from 11 am to noon. This very special children’s movement and activity class will be centered on Shirley Temple’s life and movie career.
The class for children ages 4-7 will begin with story-time followed by video clips of Temple’s most famous tap routines. Hannah Geller will lead a tap class in our Alfred Z. Solomon Children’s Wing followed by themed snacks and a craft activity.
The cost is $8 per child. Tap shoes will be available for use during the class. Reservations at tours@dancemuseum.org should include the child’s name, age and shoe size if tap shoes will be borrowed. Space is limited.
The National Museum of Dance is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday from 10 am to 2 pm. Free docent tours are available Tuesdays at 11 am with paid admission.
