"New" Parking Regulations

Police

The Council for the Boro of Wenonah has passed new parking regulations which directly effect our dance center. 
 
1. There is now a passenger loading & unloading zone on North West Ave. 
Mon-Fri. 6-9PM. These means NO parking in this area during the posted days & times.
 
This will make it easier & much safer for parents to drop-off & pick-up their  dancers from TSDC.
 
2. There is also parking by permit only along North West Ave. in front of the residences on their side of the street. 
 
We have made the head of the council aware of our need for more parking along North West Ave and several solutions are under consideration.

     We always urge our TSDC parents to bring their young dancers to this splendid showcase. Many of our young dancers have been greatly inspired by watching our TSDC Dance Company members perform.

Introducing...Colby Lindeman
 
Colby Lindeman
     The TSDC Senior Dance Company has had the priviledge of working with Colby Lindeman again this year.  Colby is a professional dancer from New York City, who has been coming down to TSDC in between his own performances. 
 
      This past December, Colby performed in several of the Radio City Christmas Spectaculars in various cities throughout the USA.  Colby's choreography  has that NYC Rockette style that is as much fun to perform as it is to watch.  We are so grateful to have him be a part of TSDC.
