We are so happy to welcome back our returning students and make some new friends! Please send your dancer with class leotards and shoes on the first day of class.

Also, please check your dancer's shoes to make sure they fit before sending them to class on the first day. Many of our dancers have grown over the summer and may need new tap and ballet shoes.

Miss Vicki Says Good-Bye

We are so sad to say good-bye to Vicki Hoban, our Razzle Dazzle evening teacher.

Miss Vicki has moved to Colorado with her husband Travis and daughter Maylee. Travis received a fabulous job offer in a resort town outside of Denver, which they accepted at the end of December.

Vicki was so sad to leave her beautiful dancers, but excited to start a new adventure with her family!

We will miss her and wish her the best!!!!
