It has been great to see so many people back from the summer! We are excited for so many of the events coming up and can't wait to see you all on stage again.

We also want to give a big welcome to our new dancers and families! We hope you enjoy being part of our little family.

Enrollment has closed. Time to move forward and focus with the people we have on the dances we have started. However, as with any time of the year, we will always make exceptions for male dancers.

It's a new semester! We started in Mid July and have entered August. We all knew it was coming. We want to be patient and understanding. Just remember in the rules, Section 4, Number 6, it does say semester payments must be made by the 3rd practice.

The payment system is working NOW!

Thank you to everyone who has made their payment.
