How do I know if there is a class when it snows?
See the top of home page of this website, first - look for a specific statement declaring the studio open or closed.  If this does not exist, then Call the studio 1 hour prior to your class time to see if we are closed. Sometimes morning classes are cancelled and by afternoon the weather and roads have cleared, and visa versa.   

When Can Parents Watch?
Parents can watch anytime through the studio viewing windows.  We do ask that you do NOT enter the class while it is being conducted as this tends to be a distraction for the students and instructors.

When is the Show/Recital?
The show is usually the third weekend in June.   More details on the recital can be found on the recital page
