New Student Enrollment
As soon as the show is over in January, we will be taking new students for the second half year. These students will get a chance to do Frozen again with us in May. This will save parents the cost of a second costume for this year. New students will have to pay the costume fee of course.
May Performance
Yes, you heard right. We are going to repeat Frozen like we did with our Narnia performance. We will be adding some dance numbers to the spring performance. Calendar
Cecchetti Exams
We will also be working hard on our Cecchetti classes from January to March to get ready for exams at Dance Gallery of SD in Sioux Falls. There are three students getting ready for Grade I and three getting ready for Grade II. If you are interested in exams please talk to Ms Sunny.
Sarah and Josh will be preparing for Teacher's Grade II. Ms Sunny will be working on Grade VI but won't exam in that level for another year due to the level of difficulty.
