OCALA, FL (352today.com) – Gainesville-based Dance Alive National Ballet‘s free, Dance About classes in Alachua and Ocala may have kicked off last week, but we just heard there are still a few spots open for boys and girls in grades K-8.

This six-week program introduces kids to the fundamentals of styles like ballet, modern dance, jazz and hip-hop. No experience or specialized attire is needed; the only requirement is a desire to move and learn.
