Calendar & Closures
Bring a Friend to Dance Class!
You can see what dance class is all about AND your child will get a chance to hang out with their buddy.
Talk about a win, WIN!
Friends who join us don't need any previous dance experience and should wear comfortable clothes with socks. Wondering what class will be like? Expect to learn a few new dance moves, play games, and get to know a great group of kids.
If you would like to be a "friend" during this week at our dance studio, please complete the form.

Recital Photo Week
Thursday April 1 - Wednesday April 7
All classes will take a group and individual pictures for recital!
Make sure you have a complete photo order form to send in with your dancer if you are ordering photos. The back studio will be used as a dressing room and photos will be taken in the front studio.
Dancers will take photos at the beginning of their class time and once they have taken photos they are free to leave. There will not be class during photo week since both studios are in use for photos.
