2010-2011 Schedule & Star Troupe Auditions

We have made a few minor adjustments to the schedule for the 2010-2011 year. Some class times had to be changed in order to make each class run as smoothly as possible and to continue providing quality instruction to your dancer, we apologize for any inconvenience that the new schedule may cause. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the new schedule please feel free to contact Ms. Heather by email or at the studio. The new class times are effective as of 09/17/2010.  Thanks!

We are very excited for another year with our performance groups; Star Troupe I & II. Star Troupe I is for Int 1-Adv dancers & Star Troupe II is for Level 1-Beg 2 dancers. Star Troupe dancers participate in community events and compete in regional competitions and showcases. If you have questions about the Star Troupes please feel free to talk to Ms. Heather or Miss Ashley.

2010-2011 Sched, Summer Events, & Recital DVDs

Just wanted to let everyone know that the schedule of classes for the 2010-2011 year has been finalized! We will be having early registration at the end of this month on July 28th from 12:30pm to 4:30pm and July 30th from 1pm to 7pm.  If you come in to register on one of these days you will receive 50% off the registration fee.  There will also be registration on August 13th from 10am to 5pm.

 We also have a couple of studio events taking place this summer, we will be having an ice cream social at the studio on July 30th at 7pm and a Tie-Dye Dance Academy shirt day on August 13th at 6pm.  These events are a great way to catch up with some of your studio friends and get excited for the coming year.  We do need to plan for these events so we ask that if you are interested in attending one or both of these events that you please email us.  If you are planning on the Tie-Dye day we do need to know the shirt size in advance and the cost of the shirts is $10.  We are planning on using these Dance Academy shirts during show your DASP spirit week and the class that has the most students in shirts will receive a prize! 

 There is still time to sign up for summer classes if you have not done so yet.  We do offer a pro-rated amount if you are going to be out of town for vacation and might miss some classes, so don't worry about that.  Summer classes are a great way for your dancer to keep up their technique and to learn some fun new and challenging steps.

 Last but not least, the DVD's of the 2010 spring recital are in! You can come by the studio during our summer schedule hours to pick up your copy or you can pick them up during registration times.

We hope that everyone is enjoying their summers so far and we can't wait to see you back in the studio!
