Kiddie Academy invites children of all ages and families to attend its third annual DanceParty! event from 10 a.m. to noon Jan. 27.

The free indoor event will take place at 23445 N.E. Novelty Hill Road in Redmond. Attendees will learn an age-appropriate dance and then showcase their new moves.

The event is designed to bring local families together through music and dance, said Kiddie Academy Vice President of Education Richard Peterson, and to highlight the ways in which Kiddie Academy’s Music & More lessons build on the young child’s natural love of music, stories, movement and pretend play, according to a press release.

“Music is an integral part of Kiddie Academy’s Life Essentials curriculum,” said Peterson. “Research shows that music can make your child a better learner. Exposure to music in an early learning setting can help children develop their reading and speech skills, while enabling them to focus better and develop socially.”
