Mommy and me dance time

Early Friday mornings you can find parents and their children dancing up a storm at Crescent Moon Yoga Studio on Morris Street in La Conner. That is where the fabulous "Ms Mo" teaches kids dance and learning skills through fun activities.

"We've been coming since September" said Jessica Van Wagner who brought her toddler, Mae Mae, along. "My daughter learned her colors, better coordination, and how to take direction in an exciting way. This is a fun group setting to engage with others."

Ms Mo has been teaching dance for almost 20 years, both recreationally and for competition. She moved to La Conner in 2020 and has been building her business since COVID-19 restrictions were lifted. She offers different classes catered to different age groups; the Mommy + Me class is tailored to walking age up to three years old.

Dads and boys are also encouraged to attend. "He loves music and he needs to burn the energy" says Nicole Chase about her son Lochlan. The class starts with warm ups and cardio, continues with music and dance routines, then ends with prop time using whimsical ribbons and a colorful parachute with playhouse balls. It's a fun way for parents to get active with their kids while meeting other parents around town.

Ms Mo teaches in multiple locations posted on her Facebook page (facebook.com/MsMosDance).
