We are so lucky to live in Brooklyn where our kids have access to so many cultural activities and unique classes that it can be difficult to decide which ones to do. One way to figure out it out is to check out a trial and sample class where you and your children can see a sample performance, take a class, meet with instructors and go on a tour of a facility. Here are some trial and demo classes that are taking place.
