Hello Stage Door Dancers, Families, and Friends,
As we come to the end of another dance season, I would like to express my deepest gratitude and appreciation to everyone who has made this year such a success. To our dedicated dancers, their supportive parents/guardians/families, our talented teachers, our hardworking staff, and most importantly, our incredible dancers; thank you!
Recital dress rehearsals were exceptional and we always love having your supporting hearts and faces in the studio with us! It was inspiring to see our dancers showcase their hard work and dedication for their families, just one last time before hitting the stage at our upcoming June 10th and 11th recitals at the Staller Center at Stony Brook University. Our dancers have put in countless hours of practice, and we know they already are amazing!
As we prepare to move into the summer months, I encourage all of our dancers to continue their growth and development by registering for our Summer dance classes. Summer is the perfect time to try out new genres, make new friends, meet new teachers, and even BEAT THE HEAT! We are offering an exciting range of classes that are sure to challenge and inspire you and/or your dancer.
Summer fun at Stage Door isn't limited to dance classes! For our 2-5 year old students, we have two weeks of Fine Arts Club, a creative arts preschool enrichment day camp. And for our older students with creative flare, check out Stage Door Creative Camp, our creative arts day camp for children ages 6-12 also running two separate weeks this summer. Immerse your dancers in all things creative arts and have tons of fun (and maybe give mom/dad a little break!).
September will also be here before we know it, and our 2023-2024 dance season is now also enrolling. We have several new classes and programs planned that I know our dancers / families will love. Whether you are interested in ballet, jazz, tap, contemporary, or hip hop, Stage Door School of Dance has something for everyone, of all ages. Also, don't forget that families can now select their classes for next year based on the number of recital performances they wish to participate in June 2024! Each class is now officially connected to one of six recital performances next year, giving your family all of the best decision-making information way ahead of the game.
