Miss Elisha oversees our program to ensure that all of Preschool through Kindergarten students are receiving the very best dance education possible.

All Preschool and Kindergarten classes are invited to perform in our holiday show in December and the spring recital. Recital information will be given out as it becomes available. Please contact Jane with any questions.
