Thank you to everyone who came out to support our dancers. Each and every dancer worked incredibly hard throughout the year, and the passion, dedication, and joy they bring to their art were on full display on Saturday.

This year, we also introduced a new tradition by presenting our Most Improved Dancer awards and Heart of a Dancer awards. Congratulations to our four recipients! Be sure to check out the plaques the next time you're in the studio.

We are already excited for another amazing season and can't wait to get started on next year. Keep an eye on this page for registration information and upcoming announcements!
