Children gain an introduction to warm-ups, stretching and positions while becoming more capable and comfortable with dance.
Eden Godsoe says:
"Our daughter tried ballet at the Presidio Dance School but I found it a little too serious & expensive. JCC has a ton of great classes for babies, toddlers & children. Our daughter has really enjoyed the ballet class. Not to mention caregivers can hang out in the cafe or workout themselves."

Our state of the art trampoline park offers open jump time by the hour, aerial training for countless sports, and indoor dodgeball on trampolines.
Eden Godsoe says:
"While Pump It Up is best for preschoolers, House of Air is more interesting for kids from about ages 7 on up. The kids can bounce around in one of the big trampoline rooms and then you can reserve the party room for pizza, cake and other fun."
