Welcome!  We are excited to begin classes Tues Sept 7th.  Our great staff can't wait to see you and get started.  We have a fun year planned with wonderful educational movements and opportunities.  Hope you had a wonderful summer.

 Please be aware and watch for postings of requests for face masks.  Students are always welcome to leave their mask on.  As of right now the status is:  If you are unvaccinated please wear mask in common areas.  Students once in dance rooms may remove them.  We have hooks on the wall for masks.  We are continuing our daily cleaning with 24-48 hr disinfectant products.  

Hope you had a wonderful summer!  Welcome back to dance school.  Happy Dancing,

~ Miss Shari and Staff
