Updated Season Information - April through June 2021

Greetings!
​We wanted to share a bit of additional information about our studio plans for the remainder of the season. We will continue with In-Studio and Online classes. We have decided not to hold classes outdoors this Spring.  We have also resumed in person uniform and shoe fittings with appropriate sanitation of fitting kits! We heard customer feedback and found that fittings are essential to the online purchasing process - so we’re happy to help! If you would like to schedule a shoe or uniform fitting, please let us know!

June Performance
Our 12th Annual June Show, entitled “Out of this World” will be on Saturday, June 26 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church. It will be an outdoor performance, divided into two or three smaller shows. In lieu of traditional dance costumes and to reduce the number of costume changes, we will be using recital logo cast t-shirts with dancer’s names listed on the back. The show will also feature our end of year awards and Me & My Guy performance!
