Happy Graduation Day to our incredible Miss Summer!
Not only does she spend hours every week wrangling our littlest of dancers with a big smile on her face…she has spent countless more hours working on her own studies, sometimes with a little less smile on her face.
Miss Summer is graduating today with her Bachelor of Science in Nursing. She even has a job already in the ICU department at the GP hospital! But…don’t worry she hasn’t stepped away from dance yet. We will gladly be welcoming Miss Summer back into the studio to continue to teach our littles for the 2026/2027 season.
Big shoutout to Miss Summer! Happy graduation 🎓👩🏼🎓💉

Our Toddler Class spots are filling up fast! We love being able to offer UNPARENTED dance classes for boys and girls starting at just 2 years old! The best part…we have SATURDAY options!
This is perfect for the busy working families that don’t want to add anything else onto their weeknight plates. For those families who have been waitlisted continuously for other Saturday morning activities. Even for those busy families that just want to have something to keep their toddler engaged
in on the weekend since lots of other activities are only offered weekdays.
BUT…spots are already FILLING FAST so register while you still can!
Saturdays not a good option?!?! MONDAY classes are also available!

Happy Vyshyvanka Day!!!! Wear your blouse proud and don’t forget to come out and celebrate on Saturday as a community!
We are saddened to share this video but feel it’s important. This is where our beautiful boots get made for our dancers. Those living in Ukraine continue to live in fear, anxiety and hardship but go above and beyond to continue to be able to provide people like us the amazing boots (costumes, accessories, etc) that allow us to help keep our culture alive when it matters most.
Let’s keep standing up for our amazing Ukrainian culture and show it proud with our blouses tomorrow!
