We will be having a party between classes (7 pm) on the last practice night to celebrate our year!!

May 26 – PARTY!  We’ll be celebrating with some snacks and will run through our Breakthrough songs one last time.  Parents and other family members are invited.  We ask that you bring some sort of snack to share to this party…  fruit, veggies/dip, rice crispy bars, jello squares, chip/dip…. anything your dancer would love to share with everyone; however, you won’t need to bring that many.

May 31 – Last Breakthrough night.  See previous post for details.
