Hi Everyone!  Where did the summer go?  As we approach the busy back-to-school season, we are getting the studio ready for what is going to be our biggest year yet!  We have a few great events happening over the next few weeks and we want to share them with everyone.

First, I would like to say a long overdue “thank you” to everyone who helped to make last season such an enormous success.  The children did a wonderful job in the recitals, and the level of cooperation and patience from everyone made our job significantly easier.  We received an enormous amount positive feedback regarding the shows, and we could not do the amount of things that we do without your continued support and dedication.  I am very blessed to have so many wonderful families in the studio, and I look forward to many years work

ing with you and your wonderful children. 

Our dancers have again been invited to perform at the Italian Festival.  We will be dancing in front of the main stage on Saturday, September 3rd from 3PM to 3:30PM.  Our program this year will feature a number of our recital dances.  More information is enclosed. If you’re available, please come out and support our dancers (and maybe grab some Italian pastries while you’re there!)

Next, we will be hosting our Student Appreciation Day on Saturday, September 10th.  This is going to be a fun day for students and their families.  We will be having a bounce house, popcorn machine, cotton candy, and lots of other fun things for kids and adults.  In addition, we will have a very special gift for all the children who attend, and

The studio will be hosting a trip to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular on Sunday, November 20th.  We were able to secure a fabulous group promotion which has made this trip extremely affordable.  More information about the trip is enclosed.  There are a very limited number of seats available so if you are interested, please contact the studio to reserve your spot.
