This Week’s Schedule Changes/Updates
Level Up Sessions
Level Up sessions are for dancers that
- Need to learn new steps for competition because the have levelled up/out
- Are wanting to polish up work on current material
- Have been given permission to learn new material
- Have gotten behind in their practice or just need to get caught up
- Are in need of extra help with steps,
- Want to stay sharp in preparation for Regionals or any other upcoming compettiions
Our focus over the summer is performances, so we will not be spending time re-teaching material that has already been covered in class, we also won't be spending a lot of time on steps in class.
These sessions are for all levels.
If the schedule does not work for you contact me directly and we can work something out.
If you are not located near the Dayton Studio we can work out some Zoom sessions if needed.
