Happy New Year!!!

We hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing vacation. We are ready to get back to dance and are looking forward to a wonderful 2002. In the spirit of the New Year we have come up with some resolutions:

T.A.P.'s Resolutions:

1. To make sure that each and every dancer who enters our doors feels special.
2. To instill the love of dancing and performing in each student.
3. To teach dance skills through positive discipline and nuturing instruction.
4. To give as many hugs as possible through-out the year.

   Thanks and Congrats!

Thank you to all of the wonderful parents who helped out at the Winter Recital. We appreciate you so much and can't tell you how much your help and dedication made such a huge difference.
Congratulations to all of the performers at the Winter Recital. You were so much fun to watch and we are so proud of how well you performed!

New Schedule!

There are some schedule changes coming up for the new year. We will offer some new classes so check out our new schedule available now.

 

Welcome to our New Teachers!

Important Note

Hour long classes started running on December 1st. 45 minute classes (including Jr. Hip-Hop, Broadway Kids and Ballet/Tap 3-5) will stay the same.
We are doing this in lieu of a tuition increase to better communicate with parents and students.

Student of the Month:

Sophia has been with us for nearly a year now. Sophia is a member of the All-Stars3 performance company. She consistently has a good attitude, gives great effort, and is friendly to others in her classes. Her attendance is good and she dresses appropriately to every class.
