Some of the best modern dancers in the city are members of this storied performance company. And now many of them are also teaching free dance-centric classes, from barre to tap. You can even tune into many of the classes, live, if you want a Peloton-like workout experience.

This Walkers Point-based bar and DIY space has started selling make-at-home craft kits. The kits which range in price from $18-38 were made with a lot of age ranges and ability levels in mind.

On Monday nights at 6:30 p.m., Milwaukee Public Libraries are hosting a virtual story time for families with young children. There will be stories, songs and rhymes to help develop early literacy skills and encourage a love of reading. Event organizers recommend cozy PJs and stuffed animals.
