CHRISTMAS DANCES & PARTIES – DECEMBER 5-8:  All the classes, with the exception of Ballet V, are working on special Nutcracker/Christmas dances to present to their families the week of December 5-8 during their regular class time.  Attendance is very important as classes are working on their dances!!! After the class Nutcracker performances, classes after 3:00 will meet outside the upstairs ballet studio for their Christmas party.  Classes before 3:00 will meet in the Uptown Auditorium.

What to Bring to the Party:  We need one mom from each class to bring drinks (small water bottles or juice boxes work great).  All classes have volunteers for drinks - thank you!
