SAVE THE DATEDANCE OPEN HOUSE - A wonderful opportunity to meet the instructors and purchase appropriate dance attire.

Proper dance attire is encouraged during dance classes as it is very important for the dancers to look uniformed.  It also helps to keep all of the students focused and allows the instructors to correct body alignment.  Remember - please purchase ballet shoes that have full sole or split sole leather bottoms.  No slippers are allowed in class, so please purchase real ballet shoes.  If you have questions, please contact Lynn Fernandez at the phone or email below.
