Unfortunately, the power went out before I had the chance to update everyone's records, so I will need to process costume payments separately this week once the power is restored. Thank you for your patience!

Spirit Week
Nov. 14th-19th
The week before Thanksgiving will be our Spirit Week this year (Nov 14th-19th). The theme - the 80's. Come to dance class dressed in 80's inspired attire (think shoulder pads, big hair, leg warmers, belted tunics, etc). Dancers still need to be able to move so, if you must, bring a change of clothing. There will be prizes for the best 80's inspired dance outfits!!!!!
