Salsa Babies (ages: 6 wks - 1 year) - Latin Beat for Tiny Feet! Dance back into shape with the best little partner of all - your BABY! With little ones snuggled into baby carriers, new moms learn popular Latin dances while babies shake maraca rattles and bounce along to the Salsa beat! Salsa Babies offers a great workout, a chance to socialize with other moms, and an opportunity to introduce one's child to music and movement. Not to mention, it's perfect for people who have always wanted to learn to dance, but could never convince their partner to take lessons! Classes are appropriate for babies approximately 6-8 weeks of age and up, as long as you are comfortable supporting your baby in a carrier for the duration of the class. All levels of fitness and dance experience are welcome. Salsa Tots (ages: walkers - 5 years) - Latin Groove for Kids on the Move! From goo-goo, ga-ga, to cha-cha-cha! Salsa Tots is designed for children who have outgrown the carrier and are ready to dance on their own two feet! Featuring original music by renowned Latin artist, Ricky Franco, Salsa Tots combines movement and play with lively rhythms and songs including Spanish vocabulary that parents and kids can both enjoy! This is the perfect class for parents who want to spend quality time with their child(ren) in an activity that merges fitness and lots of fun. It is also well-suited for parents who want to bring a younger baby or siblings along with them. Spice it Up! Bring Salsa Tots to your next birthday party, school or camp event.

Growing Healthy Kids Did you know? Over 90% of poison exposures happen at home. Common chlorine bleach is the #1 household chemical involved in poisoning. Common cleaners give off fumes that can potentially increase the risk of kids developing asthma, the most common chronic childhood disease. If your home is anything like the average U.S. home, you generate more than 20 pounds of household hazardous waste each year (the EPA designates toilet cleaners, tub and tile cleaners, oven cleaners, and bleach as hazardous waste). What can you do?
