Happy Holidays Gotta Dance family! We are four months into our dance year, and it has been a great year so far. Thank you to all of our amazing families for your continued support. We appreciate each and every one of you.
During this season of crazy schedules, we know that many dancers may be missing classes due to school and family events. We wanted to remind you that dancers may make up any missed classes through the end of the season.

All of our group dances will be completed before Christmas break! Our first competition will be the weekend of February 2nd. Please make sure that you keep the entire weekend free as we will not have a schedule for your dancer(s) until one week before the competition begins. Fees for our first competition have been billed to your dancer’s account and are due on December 14th. It is imperative that these fees are paid on time, we are finding that several dance competitions are SELLING OUT early, so we need to make sure that we have all of our dances entered and paid for as early as possible.  |
