Thank you to Mr. Rush for spending his Sunday making an upgrade to our studio. Costumes now have a home other than my office floor 😍

Super exciting! A few upgrades are coming to SLDA real soon thanks to an incredible donor who wants to partner with us!

First - New ballet barres are on their way.
Second - The old barres will be utilized as costume storage (they won't go to waste)
Third - New blinds in the studio to help keep the temperature more regulated in the space.

And so much more coming!!! Thank you to our most generous donors who have chosen to help us upgrade our space.

Dancers will dance just about anywhere but ESPECIALLY at the beach. We love getting pics of our students out and about sharing their love of dance.

CLOSED FOR HALLOWEEN

We are closed for Halloween day so families can choose to spend time doing things together.

The CG Chamber of Commerce (shameless plug because I'm on the board) puts on a frightfully fun and free event downtown CG from 3:30-6pm if you're looking for something to do!

"Miss Mandy, why are you NOT dressing up for Hallo- week?"

Let me tell you! Sometimes dancers come to class in a costume that is NOT scary to them, but may be a tad scary to other dance friends.

I like dancers (especially really little ones) to have at least one person they can go to if they feel scared and feel comfortable since I'll be dressed normally and look as I always do.

Not to mention, not everyone acknowledges Halloween and it makes them feel less "left out" if they aren't the only one not dressed up.

Thanks for asking!

Hallo-Week starts tomorrow!

Please be mindful that your dancer can actually dance in the costume and they don't bring weapons of any kind.

"Miss Mandy how long does it take to get through the wait list for a dance class and will my child get in?"

This is a tough one to answer as it varies so much. Typically we get through maybe 1-5 people on a wait list. A spot only opens up when a dancer moves up due to skill level or drops the class.

The wait list is active through December and then we begin work on our spring show and do not add any new students into the mix as we begin our costume fittings and choreography.

The best way to ensure a spot if you aren't already a student? Participate in our summer program. Summer program attendees get an early registration option!
