MARK YOU CALENDARS ~ 2012 COMPETITION DATES

We've started working on our competition routines for next spring. Dancers spend a lot of time perfecting their routines so they can do well at competitions. Please make every effort to attend. It is unfair to the rest of the class when changes have to be made last minute for a missing dancer.

America Onstage: April 20-21 at Taylorsville High School

Dance America: April 27-28 at Juan Diego Catholic High School

Dance-A-Rama: May 4-5 at Kearns High School

Soloist

If your daughter would like to compete with a solo next spring please let me know a.s.a.p. I will only be taking on a limited number of solists this year, so don't wait until it's too late to reserve your spot.

Parent & Toddler Class

I will be teaching a Parent & Toddler class at Utah Artists School of Ballet (9333 S. 1300 E. Sandy). Here are the details!!

Ages: Walking - 3 years

Schedule: 8 consecutive Wednesday mornings; September 7th - October 26th

Time: 9:20am-10:00am
