Do you have to drag your young dancer to class every week? It s okay remember that they are young and at age 4, a nine month hobby is almost ¼ of their entire life. We remind them of how exciting picture week will be. Then they learn the finale to a jazz song and we start practicing in front of other classes to add fun to their weekly session. Don t worry, they ll be great and make you so proud on stage at the recital. Let us know what we can do to help! Also, don t hesitate to video their dances so they can work at home! 2018/2019 CUSTOMERS In preparation for next season, we would like to align our 2018/2019 schedule based on your wants and needs!
