Thank You!
Where do I even begin? What an awesome and amazing show these dancers put on for their families and friends! They had great smiles, great energy and did great jobs on stage. I am so proud of them all! And, thank you to the parents, families and friends who came and supported the lovely dancers, who cheered and applauded and made the show fun! Because really, in the end, when all is said and done a...nd the technique has been taught, conversations have been had, pointed toes corrected, freezes perfected, and hours upon hours of practicing to the same music over and over, the most important thing is that they had fun. There has yet to be a year where I am not thoroughly impressed by you all! Thank you again for an incredible show!
We will see you this week for ice cream and good times. We are closed the week of June 18, 2012. We re-open June 25 for Summer session and the start of summer camps. Fall registration is on-going.

One Million Thanks...

One Million Thanks to all of the dancers, martial artists, parents, friends, family, vendors, and volunteers who participated in any way, shape or form in this year's Winter Benefit. It was a great chance for the kids to practice performing and to use their gifts and talents for a great cause. We are able to raise a good amount of money to donate to Ginny's Pantry. It was just in time too because when I went there to drop off the cash donation she showed me the bare racks in the pantry and was so grateful for the contribution. You done good people and thank you from the bottom of my heart!!
