Happy New Year!

Kudos to the dancers and parents for a successful December 19th performance of For Unto Us A Child. We braved a very snowy night that kept our audience at home but we danced as if we had a full house.  Viewers were moved to tears by the beauty of the dances and supportive scriptures attesting to the birth of our Lord and King, Jesus Christ.  This show although in more of a recital format still shared the Greatest Story Ever Told.

We will be off and running in January with preparations and planning for the June performance of Lion King: Lion of Judah.  Our plan is to have this performance point to the return of Jesus.


Watch for posting of additional costume charges for the June show.  Fees will need to be paid by the end of January so costume orders can be sent by February 1st.
