Welcome Back Fall 2018

Welcome Back to Tapping!!!

I'm excited to be back tapping with all of you!

This year, in leiu of a Dance Revue we will be participating in a Holiday fund raising gala to support scholarships for Kids Kollege. The Gala will feature dancers from all over San Juan County! I'm excited to try something new and to support a good cause.

This Gala will be November 17th at 7:00 p.m. Tickets will be $10 for Adults $8 for Students and Seniors and $5 for children under 12 accompanied by an adult. Students will receive vouchers to pre-purchase two half-price tickets each. The dress rehearsal will be the same day at 2:00 pm. It will be a closed dress rehearsal.

There will be two tap pieces. All classes will participate in one number, with different sections featuring different classes. The remaining number is TBD based on interest and ability. All students will need to plan on wearing BLACK SLACKS for this performance (not jeans, leggings, or yoga pants.) This is a great staple piece to any wardrobe, so if you don't have black slacks, it's time to shop!

The group piece will feature Christmas Can Can  from Straight No Chaser.
