Summer, Fall and Nutcracker Updates!
Summer!
Summer Camps are filling up so signup today!
Fall 2021 - 2022
Fall Schedule is now available! Our school director, Linda Johnston, did an immense amount of work putting this plan together and really did an incredible job weighing the countless variables including school schedules, dancer conflicts, and teacher availability. Many thanks to her for getting us set for a fun, and FULL, 2021-22 school year.
We’re thrilled to add some new classes next year, including an elementary-aged mixed combo class, hip hop for younger students, ballet variations, choreography, and ballet fit. In other great news, musical theater jazz is back and our Encore! performance group has year-round sessions to fit your schedule.
Adults – don’t forget we offer classes for you, too! Drop your children for their class and stay for one of your own. We offer adult ballet, tap, tai chi, ballet fit, and Dance for Parkinson’s for adults with movement challenges. Help us spread the word!
As we come back from COVID and work towards expanded offerings, you will notice slightly higher tuition rates for next year, and we want to be transparent about that. We work hard to keep tuition rates as low as possible while balancing our responsibility to keep improving our spaces so we can give our dancers the safest and best dance education possible. That said, please do not let financial challenges keep your family from dancing. We have scholarship funds available for those who need them.
Registration for fall will open online and by paper through the office on July 19th . The studio is closed from Wednesday, June 23rd through Sunday, July 4th . Our amazing Office Manager, Diane Peterson, will be able to answer any questions you have as registration opens. Scholarship applications will be available when registration opens.
Nutcracker!
Many of you have also asked about Nutcracker. We are planning on a live (yay!) performance in December and have reserved dates at Brodniak Hall at Anacortes High School the week of December 6th , closing with matinee and evening shows on Saturday, December 11th. Auditions will take place Saturday, August 28th and are open to any students registered for Ballet 1 and above. Older students, please consider attending Nutcracker Boot Camp the week prior to auditions, August 23rd -27th , especially if you are taking some time away from dance over the summer.
