If Public Schools are dismissed due to inclement weather and bad driving conditions for the afternoon, we will also be closed. (In case of a Hurricane, please call the Studio afterwards to check our "eletricity status".) We post these emergency closings online and by email blast to parents.

The dance year ends with our 45th Annual Recital in May at Baker High School Auditorium. Participation in recital is optional. Attendance to rehearsal is mandatory for participation in recital. We take great pride in putting on a quality show that we can all be proud of!

There will be a “Christmas Showcase” in December. This fun performance opportunity will be at the dance studio and on a much smaller scale that our big annual Recital. The showcase will also be less formal – ALL students will be required to order a Gale’s 2026 Christmas Sweatshirt to wear during Showcase Week instead of costumes.
