Children ages 5 to 10 are invited to sign up for "The Making of a Dancer" with dance educator Kay Hanley Alden and dancers from the New Bedford Ballet at the Mattapoisett Library.

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, the participants will learn why people dance and will learn and practice some dance moves.

On Dec. 10 the children will listen to the story of Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Ballet and see the professional dancers perform their parts in costume.

Both sessions will be held from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m.

Register by calling Linda Burke, children's librarian at 508-758-4171.
