Parent–Child Ballet Exercise & Eurhythmics!
A Special Program at the 20th Autumn Health Fair
Petit Allongé Bella NY is delighted to collaborate with New York Sukusuku Kai for a special parent–child movement and music event led by ballet instructor Isabella Torres and piano and eurhythmics instructor Yoppi (Yoshiko Watanabe). Designed for infants and young children up to approximately six years old and their parents or caregivers, this interactive session combines ballet-inspired exercise with music, rhythm, and playful movement.
What to Expect
Isabella will lead gentle, accessible ballet-inspired stretches and exercises that parents and children can enjoy together. The activities are designed to encourage healthy movement, body awareness, posture, flexibility, and joyful parent–child interaction.
Parents will also have an opportunity to ask Isabella questions about common physical concerns, including pelvic alignment and shoulder tension.

Petit Allongé Bella Friends is a support group formed by sponsors and supporters
who believe in the artistic and educational mission of our school.
This community plays an important role in helping sustain our activities
including performances, outreach programs, and educational initiatives for
young artists in New York City.
Their support allows us to continue providing meaningful opportunities both on and
off the stage.
We are grateful for the support of Dr. Jerry Ashrafi, a pediatric dentist based on
the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
His practice is dedicated to providing gentle and attentive care for children,
helping them feel comfortable and confident during their dental visits.
As part of this collaboration, he kindly provides small dental wellness gifts for
children participating in our classes and events.
