Happy Wednesday everyone!
We hope that everyone is enjoying their first weeks back to school and dance. The energy at the studio has been so amazing and we feel so lucky to be sharing our passion for dance with you. This week we want to talk about our amazing staff of teachers and assistants. These amazing people work hard every day to be knowledgeable instructors, positive role models and the best we can be for our students and families.
