Big shout-out to our prop master, Ed Watson, whose talent helped make our show a little more magical!

If you find yourself in need of a creative solution for a household project—or even just a really big hat—give him a call. He’ll be moving to the area at the end of the summer after marrying a certain clown, and we’re lucky to be getting him! ☺️🎩✨

What an extraordinary final performance of our “Circus of Dreams” show! The kids have been diligently refining their imaginative skills, acting, dancing – mastering techniques in ballet, tap, pointe, contemporary, acro, and jazz. As a director, it's incredibly fulfilling to witness their remarkable growth year after year. From first hearing the small idea from each teacher to then see it brought to life by the talented dancers and choreographer. Watching from the booth is a truly enchanting experience. Fills my heart!! We're deeply grateful to everyone in the community for their support of these dancers. We hope all of them had a magical and fun time.

Thank you for a fantastic semester! We eagerly look forward to seeing you over the summer or in August when we kick off the fall season! Well done, everyone!
