Welcome Back!

We are in full swing of our spring season. New combos and new skills. New routines and new costumes.

Please, make sure your dancers are attending classes. If you need a make up class due to illness please, schedule a time with your director.
BAD WEATHER DAYS ARE UPON US!!!
If CISD schools are canceled, we are canceled as well. If there is a school delay, we will monitor the situation accordingly and make the call for that day. If there is an early release, we will not have classes.
If you have to miss a class because of bad weather, please, feel free to schedule a time with your director.
I had planned on taking us to the rodeo, however the position that schedules the Community Stage is a volunteer position, and sometimes that can be unreliable. If I hear anything different from them, I will reach out!
Spring recital is currently scheduled for May 4th, and I wish I had a solid place to tell you, but I don't yet. Cross your finger for me as this has been one of the most difficult years to get a location scheduled, even harder then 2021!!

As a reminder we have scheduled school days off so we are also off.

May 4th-Spring Recital

For Spring Recital we will be going "Back in Time". As you get costumes, it is your responsibility to keep track of the costumes and all the accessories.

We will be honoring Harley this spring at recital in a group routine that all dancers will be participating in.
Each dancers will receive a FREE blue costume for this routine courtesy of dancefairies.org

I want to donate a bench in the park for her and her family and I will be taking donations in commemoration to the family and Harley for this project.
If you have any questions let us know!!
Always,

Monica
