Quote from Miss Janine to start your Tuesday off on the right (pointed) foot...:)

"It has long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarley sat back and let things happens to them.  They went out and happened to things."

Rewards for long term students...

Did you know that long term committed dance students (those who have studied with us for 10 or more consecutive years) who have reached their senior year of high school, will automatically receive a $500.00 dance scholorship, for either our studio or for college? To qualify, one must be attending 3 or more days per week. A terrific way for us to reward both our students and parents for their commitment to dance!
