Four of our dancers took on nationals this weekend✨😍 We are so proud of them for representing the studio!!

We can’t get over these awesome kids from last Sunday 🕺 Our recital was truly one for the books and we hope everyone has an awesome summer!

Before diving into our Recital Recap, we wanted to give a shout out to our scholarship recipients, Carley Hunter & Aaron Emenhiser!

The Gillian M. Economou & Victoria Hamilton scholarships are dedicated to two people that have lost their battle to breast cancer, but were true supporters of the arts and ACCD. These scholarships are both worth $1000 and are put towards to two graduates college education!
