Information
We try to keep the website updated and to send newsletters home each month. These newsletters contain important information, please read them carefully.
Class observation
We encourage parents to watch classes the first two weeks of Sept., Dec., Mar., and June. We are always happy to welcome Grandparents or visitors to watch a class, but please introduce them to the instructor first.
It is our policy to make dance an exciting and rewarding experience for all our students, and at the same time to help them achieve self confidence, discipline, a sense of commitment and pride in what they can accomplish. Respect for their classmates, instructors, and their art and themselves is essential. Former students have learned all of these things and formed lasting friendships while doing so. We hope to continue this tradition in the future.
