2026 is a big year for me and you have made it so much smoother with your loving hearts

“Feed the birds… tuppence a bag.”

This number isn’t about tricks or sparkle.
It’s about heart, connection, and the quiet moments that stay with you long after the curtain closes.

Our advanced contemporary dancers are telling a story that reminds us to notice the small acts of kindness that matter most.

Thank you Bittle Brew Coffee Co. for your generous support this weekend. Keeping us caffeinated as we headed to a dance convention this weekend was such an important job and you did it beautifully.

Practically perfect in every way…
and just a little bit proud of it.

Our Ballet 2 dancers are bringing grace, charm, and a touch of Mary Poppins magic to the stage.

Small costume.
Big attitude.
Zero intention of blending into the background.

This little jazz parrot is ready.

SLDA families - a reminder that missed classes means missed show choreography. If a dancer misses show choreography, one of the following will happen:

1. The teacher can decide if it's easy enough for your dancer to catch on in class (we won't go back out of respect for other dancers)
2. Your dancer may be swept off stage and brought back on when it work with the vision of the choreography (it may not work to be brought back on)
3. Dancers can pay for a private lesson to get caught up (this is based on teacher availability).

Dance is not only an individual activity, but a team one as well! Being in class in super important!

The Banks kids have a wish… and it involves a brand new nanny.

Hip hop 3 is bringing the attitude - let's hope Mr. Banks give the what they're asking for!

Inspired by Where the Lost Things Go from Mary Poppins Returns, this piece is a quiet, beautiful reminder that the things we hold dear stay close to our hearts… even when we can’t see them.

This ballet variation captures the soft wonder of the bird on the windowsill in the nursery - a gentle reminder that Mary Poppins’ world is filled with beauty and magic in the simplest moments.
