Fall classes at Let's Dance begin September 7th, 2010. We offer a wide range of classes from the beginner to the advanced. Classes are 50, 60, 75, & 90 minutes long. Let's Dance offers combination, Ballet, Pointe, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Lyrical, Tap and Modern Classes. Classes meet once a week. Children should enter and exit through the back door, and be dressed and ready to dance. Children's names should be clearly written on their shoes and all clothing. This prevents confusion when it's time to change shoes or when it's time to leave at the end of class. We cannot be responsible for lost items. No food, drink, candy, or chewing gum in the building, please.

Parents will have the opportunity to watch their children dance since our classrooms have one-way glass observation windows.

Parents are invited to our holiday classroom celebrations December 13th - 18th. T-shirts to this event are $12.00. It is very important that your child be brought on time and picked up on time so that we can keep classes flowing smoothly.

Our recital schedule is tentatively planned for May 21, 2011 and the dress rehearsal is scheduled for the Saturday, May 14th.
