3 swans Great weeks of dance fun for the budding performer!

Incredible fun that gives great self-confidence and satisfaction!

ATTIRE: If you have dance clothes (leotard, tights, ballet slippers), please wear them! We also recognize that this may be your child's first experience with dance. In this case, wear comfortable clothing that you can easily move in, barefoot or socks. No street shoes are allowed in the studios in order to preserve and protect the floors. Please pull hair away from face.

PERFORMANCE: Each session culminates in an informal performance at the studio at 5:30pm Friday evening (June 29 and August 3). Parents, family and friends are welcome! We hope you will join us to watch the children present what they have been working on during the week. Refreshments will be served! Feel free to bring a treat to share!
