Extra Rehearsals

 

During the week of December 19th  regular classes will not be held on Monday, December 19th or Tuesday, December 20th. Additional rehearsals may be called for either of these two days. We anticipate Monday classes may have extra rehearsals on one of these two day because we were off for Halloween.

Great News for June Show!

 

Thank you so much for your cooperation in making ticket sales for the December show go smoothly. We know that limiting families to six tickets made it difficult to invite all the family members who would like to attend. In the last few months, the Surge Dance Center enrollment increased more than we anticipated. We are looking ahead to the June show and we are solving this problem.

 

We are excited to announce that we will be holding two shows in June! You will be able to invite all your friends and family!

 

Dress Rehearsal: Sunday, June 17th

 

Show 1: Tuesday, June 19th

 

Show 2: Thursday, June 21st

 

Again, thank you so much for you patience with our ticket procedure for this show. We truly appreciate you all!

Balancing It All:
