Our end of the year performance is right around the corner! Family, friends, and community are invited to join us on Saturday, June 3rd for three performances at the Riordan High School Theater (175 Frida Kahlo Way). Show times are 11:00-1:00, 3:00-5:00, and 6:00-7:00 (Advanced Dancer Showcase).
Steppin' Out families will receive a private link to a professional recording of each performance. If you have family or friends that aren't able to make it to the show, you will be able to share the video with them.
CLASS UPDATES
Regular classes will continue throughout the month of May. Please note there is no class on June 1 & 2. Nearly all of our performance choreography has been taught and this month we will work on details like spacing, memorization without the teachers' help, and performance quality. Part of this preparation includes an onstage rehearsal. All performers are scheduled for an onsite rehearsal during the week of May 22-25. Enrolled families, please check out this onsite rehearsal schedule and plan to attend. We want to make sure that every student feels prepared and confident so when the big day comes they can enjoy themselves and have a wonderful performance experience. Additionally, please note that your costumes will be available for pick-up at the studio (once you've paid your invoice) throughout the month of May.
REGISTER NOW FOR SUMMER CAMP!
This year, we will be offering a two week summer camp for kids ages 6-12! Join Angela & Pearl for a fun filled summer camp experience with some dance & Yoga, arts & crafts, popsicle making, and much more! Choose either or both weeks: June 19-23 + June 26-30. Camp will consist of a structured activity each day but we will also take daily trips to the park for fresh air and free time. Other than playing in the playground, some of our other favorite things to do at the park are playing soccer, hula-hooping, and cartwheels in the grass.

DANCE IN THE NEWS
National Tap Dance Day is May 25th! Perhaps you can celebrate by practicing your tap dance at home. We recommend tapping on a hard surface that can get a little scuffed up, like a concrete garage floor or wooden tap board.
MOVEMENT OF THE MONTH: TAKE A BOW!
After a performance, dancers bow while they receive applause from their audience. Your bow can be a sign of gratitude to the audience for witnessing and enjoying. With your feet together, bend forward at the waist. For our youngest dancers, who are still a little top heavy, we ask that they keep their faces front looking at the audience. Our older dancers can drop their heads during their bow.
