THANK YOU!

AOD would like to give a HUGE “Thank You” to Eric Kvinsland, the building owner, for his help in getting the carpeting replaced at Academy of Dance! Without his physical and monetary assistance, we would not have been able to make it happen! We’d also like to give a HUGE “Thank You” to Ms. Carla’s son, Taylor, for his help in getting the old flooring torn out and the area prepped for the new carpet! THANK YOU!
