    We got a Trophy....

    We got a Trophy We got a Trophy Hey Hey Hey Hey!!! Despite all odds, our team of 9 students managed to score high enough marks to bring us home the TOP STUDIO TROPHY (that Daniel has been talking about for the past four years). We can't thank the competitors and spectators enough for such a wonderful event. If there was a LOUDEST TEAM trophy we would have taken that one too. Daniel Tackett and Chelsea made their debut as a professional couple dancing a rockin' ChaCha while Jennifer Hiser won the Mix and Match with Josh Tilford. Out on the Town. We would like to invite everyone to come out dancing with us this Friday night. Meet at the studio at 7:45pm for a 'Foxy' Group Lesson and Spotlight by Danny and Kristin Hayes. Then we will reveal our destination and caravan out on the town. Bring $10 for cover.

    Spotlight Spectacular. Thank you to everyone who participated in our evening of spotlight dances. All of the performances were a big hit! Talk to your instructor about putting together a spotlight of your own.

    Upcoming Schedule. The studio will be Closed Friday July 3rd for the Holiday and Friday July 10th, as the entire staff travels to Chicago to compete professionally in the National Fred Astaire Competition.

Our students, Dianna Williams and Rick Moledor will be dancing on stage as the men of The Worthington Chorus sing "Dancing Through Life" from the musical Wicked.
