CONGRATULATIONS to those who have already recorded, you did amazing! Once this week is over, we will be compiling ALL the videos into 3 Virtual Dance Galas that we will be airing through Zoom Viewing Parties at the end of June. More information will be released soon on how to tune into one of the parties. These viewing parties will be FREE. On your side you just need to set up the dance space for your dancer. WE do all the recording. We are also looking to have the our Virtual Dance Gala for sale in DVD form. We will get you more information when we have it.

If you are interested in having professional photos taken in this years Spring Gala costume(s), we have our photographer's Best of Times Photography here at the studio June 24 & 25. You can sign up for a time slot on their website through the link below.

Studio Policies for Photo Day

  • Dancer's must arrive in costume and photo ready.

  • If dancer is in multiple dances, they should wear a nude or black leotard under their costume, as they will need to change in the studio space. We have a partitioned area for changing. This will be sanitized after each dancer.

  • Each costume has a 5 minute time slot, so if you have multiple dances / dancers sign-up for multiple time slots (One 5 minute time for each costume).

  • Locker / dressing rooms are closed for the summer, they will not be able to use during photo day.

  • Only 1 restroom will be open this summer, this is for restroom use only, not for changing into costumes for photo day.

Spring Gala 2020 - Virtual Recital

2020 Gala Poster

This has been a hard decision for us to make, but for the safety of our instructors, staff, students and families, as well as the regulations in place, we will be holding a VIRTUAL SPRING GALA this season. It is important to us to conclude the year with a performance. This is an opportunity for both dancers, instructors and the studio to have closure to a season. Obviously, this is not our ideal circumstances and we really just want to stay positive and make the best of our options. We are working on more detailed information to send you, but in the meantime, EACH class will perform the night of their class, no need to set a special day aside. Again, we are working on the details of HOW this will work and will know more in the next few days. As well as working out a costume photo shoot with our photographers for the end of June (more details to come). We are thrilled to see how your dancer has progressed this season. Even though we are not in the same physical space, we are seeing GREAT improvements in your dancers and we can't wait to showcase this!
