Urbani-Fam Circle

The Urbani-Fam Circle is an opportunity for the parents, grandparents, caregivers, and guardians of Urbanity Dance’s students to come together to share connections, create community, and bolster the experience of their dancers. All adult family members of Urbanity Dance’s students are encouraged to participate in Urbani-Fam Circle activities.

As an Urbani-Fam Circle member, you will meet and build community with other Urbanity families, feel more connected to your dancer’s Urbanity experience, and improve the School by volunteering your time and/or expertise.
