Being a member of our Performing Group requires more responsibility, but is a great reward and honor to be a part of as they share their love of dance with the residents of Nursing Homes and our surrounding community.
Summer Classes!
Summertime is a great time to try out new classes and refine technique! We have a short 5 week session offering classes in Ballet, Aerial, Acro, Hip Hop and more!
