Happenings

All Students

Halloween is almost here! To celebrate, dancers can wear Halloween costumes to class the week of Halloween (Oct 28-31). If your dancer has class twice a week, we’ll wear costumes on their tap & jazz day. Wearing a leotard and tights under the Halloween costume is usually most comfortable for dancers.
