✨ Reflecting on an Incredible 2025 ✨

As we look back on 2025, we’re filled with gratitude for everything we accomplished together. This past year, our community shared:

• 2,198 classes for dancers of all ages
• 12 five-star birthday parties
• 231 private lessons
• 10 performances and shows
• And so much more!

Because of your support, we were able to give back in meaningful ways — from awarding scholarships, to choreographing and performing at charitable events, to celebrating unforgettable milestones. One of our favorites? Honoring our oldest adult dancer turning 90, a beautiful reminder that it’s truly never too late to dance.

Every class, rehearsal, and performance reaffirmed what we already knew: this community is about more than just dance. Your encouragement, commitment, and belief in us make everything we do possible, and we are deeply grateful you choose to dance with us.

✨ Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited to share what’s coming and can’t wait to continue creating meaningful, impactful moments together.

🩰 Registration is still open for our Youth Program!
View our class schedule and register before February 1st.

🎉 Celebrate your 2026 birthday with us!

🎃🩰 Get ready for the most fun week of the year — it’s HeART-Halloween Week! 👻✨

Throwback to that unforgettable moment when our dancers took the stage at the Laurie Berkner Halloween Concert performing the “Monster Boogie!” 🕺💀 It’s hard to believe those little monsters are now in high school — dancing on pointe and preparing to debut their solos in our upcoming Nutcracker! 🩰❤️

Now… back to Halloween fun! Here’s what to remember:

🕸️ Wear your costume (but don’t forget your dance shoes!)
🕷️ Pre-K/K families: Observation time is the last 10 minutes of class
🕸️ Adults, you’re part of the fun too! Come in your favorite Halloween colors or festive accessories
🕷️ Allow extra time for parking — there’s construction on Maple & Spring

Get ready to have fun, be creative, and always dance with ❤️!
