COMMUNITY CONNECTION
This past month we were able to support the Murray, Cottonwood, and Jordan Drill Teams by having our company dancers perform at their year-end showcases. These performances have all been positive experiences filled with love, support, fun, high energy, and excitement! The dancers just love being in front of an audience, and you could see it on their faces. We are so grateful for the opportunity to shine on stage out in the community.

UNDERWEAR TO CLASS
It’s that time of year we would like to remind our female dance and ballet/jazz classes about our underwear rule… Female dancers don’t wear underwear they wear tights. We don’t wear underwear under our swimsuits and a dancer doesn’t wear underwear underneath her leotard. I need your help NOW before the concert gets here. Let’s start working on it now so we don’t have panty problems at the concert. THANKS!!
