As we prepare for our End of Year Concert, it's exciting to see how much the children have learned and grown through their weekly dance classes. Each week, they practice their routines, which helps them develop their dance skills and learn about the importance of practice, teamwork, and performing.

To help your child shine at the concert, it's important for them to attend all their scheduled classes between now and the concert. This will ensure they have plenty of time to rehearse and feel confident on stage.

If your child needs to miss a class for any reason, please let us know in advance by contacting our reception. Thank you for your support and cooperation in making this a memorable event for everyone!
