Nutcracker 2021

We are so proud of our 2021 Nutcracker cast members. They worked so hard to put on an incredible show and we couldn't be more proud of the growth they made over the last 12 weeks. We hope you had a chance to see the show and if not, we hope to see you in the audience next year!

Better yet, we hope to see your dancers at auditions next year!

Parent Observation Week-
December 13-18th

We are very excited to invite parents into the studio to observe the progress your dancers have made! All classes will be open for observation from December 13-18th. Out of respect for the students and the teacher, we ask that you observe the following etiquette:

  • Please be on time.
  • If you must bring younger children, they must sit still and be quiet through the class. If they become a distraction you may be asked to leave.
  • Please no food or drink in the classroom.
  • Please don’t engage the teacher in a conference. You may set a time outside of class to talk to your child’s teacher.

We can't wait to have you in class!! You are going to be so impressed with how far your dancer has come!

Dancer of the Month!
Each month, three teachers will be asked to nominate one student who they feel is doing a great job in and out of the classroom. If you see one of these dancers in the hall, congratulate them on a job well done!
Miss Casey's dancer of the month is Jaine. Miss Casey chose her because she always comes to class with a great attitude. She listens closely and works super hard to achieve whatever it is she is asked to do! Miss Casey loves her desire to learn and is so proud of the progress she has made this year!
Way to go, Jaine!
Miss Leah's dancer of the month is Jaida. It’s hard to articulate how incredibly impressed I am with Jaida! This beautiful dancer has had major breakthrough! She is quiet, consistent, hard working, and simply thriving with improvement! Watching her take all her hard work to the stage this Nutcracker season was a real treat to say the least. If you saw it you too saw the growth not only in her technique but her artistry and stage presence! WOW! The way you are working IS working, KEEP IT UP!
Miss Alex's dancer of the month is Graycen. Graycen is such a joy to have in class and if doing such a great job. She shows up to every class prepared and ready to learn. Always focused and ready to take on a new challenge. Graycen is a beautiful leader in class and has truly grown so much this semester!
Amazing job, Graycen!
