SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
DancerWe are delighted to announce that we will be open for business as usual this fall. We are happy to report that a full slate of classes begins September 13. Please see our website for detailed class and registration information.

Words cannot express how happy we are to make this decision. We are grateful to the many kind individuals who stayed by us during this uncertain summer. We very much appreciate the bountiful outpourings of love, ideas, fundraisers and donations. Though we did not raise the entire amount we hoped for, we received enough to justify the decision to remain open. We can still use donations, so please don't hesitate to give whatever you can. We have some great new initiatives planned, and we hope you will continue to support our fundraising efforts throughout the fall. You are helping to keep us afloat, and allowing us all to fulfill the tap dream of Knock On Wood Tap Studio. Thank you!
