The kids class will not include movement or dancing, however kids are still encouraged to wear comfortable clothes. Shoes will need to be taken off to enter the dance studio room, so wearing or bringing socks may be a good idea, though not required. Parents are encouraged to drop off and pick up their child, but may stay if they’d prefer.

Show Synopsis: Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower. But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be. Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs. The couples begin to flirt and insanity reigns.
