Join us for a magical morning of dancing, fresh air, and farm fun at Hacienda Homestead on September 19th!
Little dancers will twirl through the beautiful courtyard garden in a one-of-a-kind farm-inspired ballet class led by Unity in Motion's Ms. Carly, with Hacienda Homestead's friendly flock of chickens joining in on the fun!
After dancing, each child will:
- Decorate their own heart-shaped egg carton
- Collect and take home fresh eggs from the homestead
