Hello Stage Door Dancers, Families, and Friends,
It's officially MAY; which means we have just a little over a month until the BEST SHOW EVER!!
I hope all of our dancers are getting excited, letting their recital choreography sink in, learning the recital finale song/choreography, and are continuing to love their dance experience with us here at Stage Door School of Dance!
Even with just a short amount of time between now and the recital, we still have TONS of fun, important information, and new opportunities to share. So let's dive right in!
This month's highlights include:
It's already been an incredible year with our dancers, and we can't wait to continue sharing our love of dance and the creative arts with each and every one of you over the summer, should you join us for Summer Dance, Summer Camps, Fine Arts Club, or WeDance!
If you have questions regarding our current or summer classes, our free trials, the studio, or your Stage Door School of Dance experience, please feel encouraged to reach out to info@stagedoordancer.com, call (631) 654-8858, or stop by the studio during business hours. We are always eager to connect with you!
Always with gratitude and love,
Mary Giattino
Studio owner & Lead Educator
