Some of the fundraising $$$'s will go to our props. This year we are looking to build stairs for the Rising, Glist, Dazz, and Sensational Tap Teams which some of the teachers are choreographing for a tap routine. We will utilize these stairs for other team members for future routines.
A BIG THANK YOU TO SOME PARENTS WHOM ALREADY VOLUNTEERED TO HELP BUILD THE STEPS! Miss Dana will be in touch with all of you shortly, I have Paul (one of our Dads) drawing up a design for us!!!! Exciting!
