MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We hope you have a very safe and enjoyable holiday season!

We understand that this is a busy time of year for everyone with Christmas concerts, parties, etc. If it is necessary to miss class please notify your teacher beforehand when at all possible. Thank you!

Also a reminder that each teacher has their own blog where we post any pertinent information for our own classes. Feel free to visit them as often as you like! The links are available from our bios on the website.

CHRISTMAS PARTY!!

SBDC’s Senior and Inter Company dancers are hosting SBDC’s 2nd annual Christmas party on Saturday, Dec. 12 from 5:30-8:00 pm. There will be pizza, crafts, dancing, games and more! Siblings are welcome, space permitting. The cost is $10 per person and it is open to anyone 5-12 years old.
