The Production Number will be performing on April 16th at the Stealth half-time show! We reached our goal of selling a minimum of 100 tickets! This is a huge opportunity for our dancers to perform in front of such a large stage. We will notify everyone who reserved tickets when the tickets become available. If your dancer would like to participate in the half-time show please send the front desk an email. Production Number Refresher classes: Friday April 1st from 6:00 - 6:45 PM, Sunday April 10th from 2:15 - 3:00 PM, & Wednesday April 14th from 8:15 - 9:00 PM. Each class is $5.

SUMMER SESSION!!!! - Our Summer (and Fall) schedule will be available to families April 11th! We will begin summer registration on April 18th (NO SOONER). Summer classes will begin July 5th (Tuesday).

SPRING SHOWCASE: Tickets will go on sale May 1st for our scheduled June 18th shows! Tickets will be limited to 7 tickets per family. PLEASE NOTE: If you have already paid for your costume but are dropping your class, costumes are non-refundable as the order was placed in January. You will get to keep your costume and in some cases new students may even be interested in buying your costume (this is rare but does sometimes happen). If we have a student interested in purchasing your costume we will let you know.

The Recital Show Order Available in the Lobby! We tried very hard to make accommodations to people's requests concerning the three shows. Please take a look at the Show Order List when you're in the lobby and check to make sure your child(ren)'s information is correct. If there are any errors please let the front desk know.

Rehearsal CDs for Spring Showcase: Rehearsal CD's can be requested at the Front Desk! Please see our sign-up sheet, and we will attempt to deliver any requested CDs as quickly as possible. CDs will be $2 per disk.

Zumbatomic on Saturdays at 10:00 am! Are you looking for a dance class that includes high-energy, family-friendly routines specially choreographed with hip hop, salsa, reggaeton, cumbia, and more? Students of all ages will boost their metabolism and enhance their coordination, all while having a great time. Can't come in every Saturday? That's fine, purchase one of our Zumbatomic Punch Cards! The punch card is good for 10 classes and is valid until June 26th, 2011. The cost of a Zumbatomic Punch Card is only $70!

Additional Classes to make up for adverse weather: Due to the inclement we've had this dance season, we are adding additional classes to the end of the dance season to make up for snow days. The final Saturday class will be Saturday June 25th. All other classes will wrap up the week of June 27th - July 1st.
