Kamdyn Mathews, 4, of Carterville, participates in an exercise during a preschool dance class Tuesday at Willow Street Studios in Carbondale. Mathews’ star next to her marked her spot for the class. The preschool classes, which are for 3 and 4 year olds, teach the children to mirror the instructor’s movements, as well as basic dance techniques, including pointing their feet. The classes are held every Tuesday at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., and are taught by Iris Siegel, of Cobden.
