Studio Changes!!

Over the holiday break we gave the studio a mini facelift! The waiting area has a fresh color and we rearranged furniture to make more room for parents as they wait and watch their dancers on the TV. In the dance studio we removed the cubbies to make a bigger dance floor and refreshed the walls with a pretty pink! Still to come this spring we will be installing a brand new dance floor. Come check out the exciting new changes!
