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 Summer Schedule is available (see link at the bottom of this newsletter) The schedule for next season will be passed out in class the week of April 28th and registration for current students will begin May 6th.



Reminder that May will be the final month of Tuition due for the 2024-25 season.

We have been busy preparing all the WDC dancers for our annual recital “Celebrate ~ 30 Years!” and we are excited for them to perform for you!

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Practice Sheets - Dancers in Preschool thru 4th/6th grade received practice charts in class. They are encouraged to practice at home and return the practice chart any week before the end of the season for a prize!

Class Shows - In the weeks leading up to recitals, classes often are given an opportunity to perform for another class at the studio during their class time. They are also able to be an audience for the other class(es). This experience helps prepare the dancers for their recital performance by giving them the opportunity to dance in front of an audience (some of them for the first time).

Is your dancer ready to take their dance to another level? Audition information for our 2024-2025 competition teams is now posted on our website and available at our front desk. Woodbury Dance Center offers many different types and levels of competition lines for ages 4 and up!

*Tap/Jazz Lines -- ages 4 & up

*Pom Teams -- ages 5 & up
