The West Des Moines Library commissioned Kathleen Hurley to make an online dance experience for kids and it is live now. Kathleen Hurley is the Artistic Director of Hurley & Dancers, a professional modern dance company based in Des Moines since 2001. She teaches dance technique courses at Grinnell College, Des Moines DanzArts and Central Academy, and has been a long-time supporter of Iowa Dance Theatre.

If you have little ones or know families with little ones who might like some dance please share! It's about how to make your own storybook dances at home!
