New York City children today have even less opportunity to move than children living in New York City in the 1970s. Children walk less today and in many cases do not have daily gym class. Television, video games, and the internet have replaced physical activities during playtime. Not only do our ballet classes promote physical health, they also promote emotional wellness.
