Greetings!

The hibernation is over!  This month we want to tell you about events that will brighten your mood and put a spring in your step.

Please take a look below for performance information for the annual  I'll Have What She's Having in which several of our adult students will perform.  In this year's performances at Rider University on March 19th and 20th, PDT instructors, Ilana Suprin, Marie Alonzo Snyder, and Lisa Botalico will each have pieces in the performance in which mainly women over 40 dance.

Also, please make plans to spend Saturday, April 17th with us as we kick off National Dance Week with DanceVision's DanceFest 2010!  Salsa, Hip Hop and Line dancing fun for the whole family along with performances from Henri Velandia's Hot Salsa Hot, Tom McKie, and excerpts from The Secret Garden will make this an event you won't want to miss.
