Please be advised that when we do our scheduling for the year, we allow one snow day per class. If your class misses more than one day due to weather, we will make-up those missed classes during the months of March and April when the weather is usually a little more cooperative.

"My tap shoes are too tight!"

"I can't wear them anymore!"

"My ballet shoes are too small!"

We are hearing these comments from a lot of kids because they were going to wear their shoes
till Christmas and now it is January and we need new ones. Please check your children's shoes; we can get them for you.

Please be sure your dancer is coming to dance class dressed and looking like a dancer with proper attire and shoes. For girls please bring your own hair ties to keep your hair back.
