May 2025 Darby's Dancers Newsletter

As the 2024-25 dance season comes to a close, we would like to THANK all of our dance families for allowing us to work with your children! We appreciate the opportunity and we sincerely hope that your dancer has had a fun and successful year.


We hope to see our dancers return this summer and/or fall! Our Darby's Dancers Summer Schedule is available (see link at the bottom of this newsletter). The schedule for next season will be available later this summer and will be sent to current and prospective dancers.



We have been busy preparing all the WDC dancers for our 30th annual recital -

“Celebrate!”

RECITALS ARE RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!

Be sure to pay close attention to emails coming from WDC in the upcoming weeks. We will send important reminders and information regarding rehearsals and recitals.


Darby's Dancers students will receive a recital reminder info sheet in classes this week which is also linked HERE.
