Last call for Boston Butt orders! All forms must be turned in tomorrow!
It’s time for our competition teams’ FIRST fundraiser of the season, and we’ve got you covered just in time for your Labor Day weekend plans!
We’re teaming up with Tin Top BBQ for a delicious Boston Butt fundraiser. For just $50, you can grab a Boston Butt for your holiday weekend while helping support our competition dancers! Every Boston Butt sold gives $15 directly back to the dancer to help offset competition expenses like costumes, entry fees, tuition and more.
Orders are due September 1, so don’t wait! You can order through any of our Company members, or stop by the front desk and Mrs. Heather will be happy to help you get your order in. Pickup is Saturday, September 5th from 10 AM to 8 PM at Tin Top BBQ in Columbiana.
Thank you for supporting our competition teams!
What a day!
A huge thank you to everyone who came out to auditions today for this year’s recital production of Alice in Wonderland! We had such a great turnout, and every single one of you brought something special into the room.
You all did an amazing job, and we loved getting to see your personalities shine through. Auditions can be exciting, nerve wracking, and maybe just a little outside your comfort zone at times, but you showed up, put yourself out there, and gave it your all.
We are SO proud of each and every one of you. It takes courage to step into that room and put yourself out there. Thank you for sharing your talent, your personality, and your love of dance with us today. We are so excited to begin this journey down the rabbit hole!

DID YOU KNOW?
You don’t have to miss a minute of your dancer’s class, even when you can’t stay in the lobby!
Maybe it’s your little one’s first time at dance and you’re not quite ready to leave them without checking in. Maybe you need to grab dinner, pick up a grocery order, or maybe you just need a little quiet time in the car with your coffee, a snack, and a good book. We get it!
That’s why we have an app that lets you check in and watch your dancer during their scheduled class time, right from your phone!
Here’s what you need to know:
• Easy to download
• Safe and secure access
• Watch during your dancer’s scheduled class
• Check in from wherever you are
And don’t worry, we make getting started easy! Once you have successfully registered for a class, you’ll find a printed step-by-step guide in the lobby. Follow the instructions to download the app, find Calera Dance Academy, locate your child’s class, and we’ll connect you to their class in just a few minutes.
Because we know how special it is to watch your dancer learn, grow, and shine…and if you have any problems getting logged in just stop by the front desk.
