In the teeny, tiny state of Rhode Island, barely a dot on the map, a group of vibrant, nimble-footed children waltz, tap, and spin in a whirlwind of colorful motion. Now, don't let the size of Rhode Island fool you; the state may be small, but it's jam-packed with life, history, and a love for the arts, particularly dance. Rhode Island is like a tiny, glittery sequin, shimmering in the vast fabric of the United States. Meet the Rhode Island Rhythmic Rascals, a quirky troupe of kids, passionate about dance. Leading the pack is their imaginary dance maestro, Sir Twinkle Toes, a tall, skinny fellow who sports a shiny top hat and twirls a silver-tipped baton. He may be invisible to adults, but to the Rhythmic Rascals, he's as real as the Rhode Island Red chicken, the state bird. His humor is as infectious as his dance moves, often having the kids in fits of giggles with his side-splitting, silly jokes. "Remember, my dear Rascals," Sir Twinkle Toes would remind them gleefully, "In Rhode Island, we may be small, but our dance moves are BIG!" With a twinkle in his eye, a flourish of his baton, he'd send the kids twirling and leaping, their laughter echoing through the dance hall. From ballet to hip hop, tap to jazz, these Rhode Island kids embody the spirit of their tiny but mighty state, proving that great things indeed come in small packages. Their passion, charisma, and powerful performances are a testament to the vibrant heartbeat of Rhode Island, a place where dance dreams really do come true.

Welcome to our nature walk! We’ll be starting off by doing a quick roll call and collecting cash payments. Then, it’s time to explore the outdoors with your little one! Bunny, your host, will be there to lead the group as they take in the sights and sounds of nature. Encouraging exploration is a key part of the experience. Show your child how to safely interact with the environment around them. Let them touch plants, lift rocks, and get a bit dirty or muddy on wet days – it’s all part of the fun! Bunny will make sure to come over and introduce herself to each child on an eye-level basis, and spend some time encouraging exploration. Throughout the walk, Bunny will be guiding the group with some short activities. These activities could include finding rocks, pinecones, and different objects with different textures, such as something red, brown, soft, or rough. It’s a great way to help your child learn about the natural world around them!
