Recently, pills were found on the floor in the lobby/parent area. As children may mistake them for candy, it is very important that we keep all areas safe.

We ask that these first two parking spots be left open and available to Pedro, Jessica and Reeses. Sometimes we stay very late and leave the studio alone. Sometimes we may come during another class. Either way it would be nice if we didn't need to walk far to our vehicles especially if we are alone.

Water!
SUMMER WEATHER IS STILL HERE and we want dancers to stay hydrated. It's great to see so many people with their own mugs and bottles, but sometimes people forget them. We no longer "sell" water, but we need bottled water available if someone didn't bring their own. If you happen to be at the store, we would appreciate a case of water donated to the group. Please bring the smaller bottles for a quick drink and less bottles left behind.
Thank you
I wanted to thank all of you for the out pouring of condolences, love and caring for me and my family. It's an understatement to say it's difficult when a family member passes. My mom was a confident and determined woman who showed love for everyone around her. Above all she was a pillar of strength and resilience her entire life fighting through every hardship all the way to the end. There was some tough love, but it was love, and I am so thankful to have had that stability growing up.
Ms. Maggie had me trying so many things growing up; piano, guitar, gymnastics, modeling, advanced math classes, and finally, folklórico. She never wanted me to settle and made sure I had any and every opportunity open for me to follow. Whatever path I chose, she was there to support it; me, my brothers and father.
I think of this group as part of my family, and so did she. She helped me with a lot of the formative years of Alegre and was the welcoming smile to rehearsals for many years.
My brother, father, Tia, Sister-in-law and I really appreciate all your support. I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Love you all
-Pedro
