Because of our large staff & Ambassador team we will not need additional parent volunteers this year. Everything your dancer needs will be taken care of!

We want our dancers to learn to perform, not to follow along. So, most classes are not posting practice videos this year. If your teachers record and provide a practice video it can be found in the parent portal files. If you would like a video of your dancer to practice with, please ask their teacher if you can step into class one day to get one. Thank you!
