Dear Dancers & Families,

Happy Fall & welcome to The Dance Extension! We're so happy you'll be a part of our 30th Anniversary celebration this season. 
 
We're delighted to welcome Tammy Putala (Hip Hop & Jazz Funk), Amanda Cabrera (Mommy/Daddy & Me, Preschool, Modern/Contemporary) & Abby Morrison (ZUMBA Fitness) to our faculty this year!

Please take a few moments to read our e-newsletter and check in regularly with the desk staff when you're at the studio. They're always available to answer your questions!

 

Maggie & Nancy K. Dennis, Artistic Directors
 
  
This season is a "performance year" at The Dance Extension. The show theme this year is New York City so get ready for dances inspired by the city that never sleeps!  All students are welcome and encouraged to perform, however, participation is voluntary!  Students who do not wish to perform are always welcome to continue taking classes at the studio!

Costume Measurements
Measurements will be taken at the studio October 7th - 19th.
 
Costume Sizes
Computer generated sizes will be available beginning Monday, October 21st. Parents/students must approve all costume sizes by Saturday, October 26th. Remember to allow for 8 months of growth when considering a size.  Note: Extra small and extra large sized costumes are special orders (ie cut to size), are more expensive and can not be exchanged for an alternate size. 
 
Costume Deposits
We accept voluntary deposits through Saturday, November 16th.

 

Costume Payments
Mark your calendar! Costumes payments are due on Saturday, November 23rd. Costumes are ordered in November to insure they arrive in time for picture days in early April.
