And with that, the curtain on our first season for Cultivate Dance has officially drawn to a close! This inaugural year, we:

🌷Welcomed almost 150 dancers into classes, camps, and intensives
🌷Built 4 beautiful dance studios with state-of-the-art sprung floors
🌷Designed and built our own custom barres
🌷Built a theater and later added raised seating
🌷Hosted our first Christmas Showcase and Hot Chocolate Social
🌷Enjoyed our first annual Spring Production, "Mythos: Dancing Through Legends and Lore"

None of this would have been possible without the volunteer force of parents and the incredible students and mentors who came alongside us to make CYT's Cultivate Performing Arts Academy a reality!

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for making our first season together a success!

We can't wait to see you in the studio on August 10th for the start of our 2026-2027 season!
