A BIG THANK YOU to the BEST dance mom’s ever! I truly have the best dance mom’s around. If you can offer assistance at competitions or anything, please let our team mom, Kate Jackson, know. Her email is mjkjackson04@yahoo.com and she will let you know what we need help with. We plan on having a drink/snack station at competitions for the girls to have a small snack and drink during the long days. She is putting this together, among other great things she is doing for our dancers. So thankful for her hard work and for everyone pitching in. 

We really only have one month left in this dance season. I big thank you to the dancers for working so hard and getting their routines ready, a big thank you to the parents for getting them to class, and a big thank you to our teachers for working so hard!!

ALL-STARS TRY-OUTS! (Formerly the Stars Show Team.) Our tryouts for next years teams will be August 4th - 8th! Dancers will be required to wear proper dance wear and shoes. Hair must be pulled out of the face and not be a distraction. This is an audition, so dress to impress! ONLY try out if you are committed to attend all the required classes and abide by all the rules. Please be aware of what classes will be required of you before trying out. ALL ability levels will try out on the same day at the same time. There will be 3 judges to help split the teams. Our decisions are final. No adjustments will be made. If you were on a team last season you will need to try out this year. No one will be automatically placed on a team. Please try out in the appropriate age group. You must also have a tryout form, signed by a parent, with you in order to try out. I will have them at the studio, or you can print them off the website.
