What's New?

Optional small groups - for the dancer looking for more groups, small groups are $25 a month and meet twice a month, students are chosen for small groups.

Disney! - Disney is tentatively schedule for March 30 - April 2 with the option to add days. We are still working on pricing and getting the best deal but I'd budget around $700 a person for hotel, park hopper passes, and a performance in Downtown Disney. Disney class will be a separate class that will meet just to learn a Disney production that will not be taken to competitions. This production will feature many different styles of dance and will be 15-20 minutes in length. Disney class is tentatively scheduled for every other Friday starting in the Fall. There will be a $150 fee for Disney class to be paid in full at the beginning of the dance year.

New team communication director - We are thrilled to have the organization guru, Rebecca Gillich, as the new team communication director to send emails, post on FB, TeamApp and all the ways we keep in touch. This will allow Ms. Manda and Ms. Maria to focus on dances, placement, and all that not only goes into the team, but the whole studio. Ms. Maria is still the team director and can assist with team related questions.
