There are many open classes - come dance!
Thank you for an awesome Summer Dance Fest!  I was so proud of all of my dancers!

The instructors tell me how much they love coming here!  They are beginning to recognize students, notice your improvement year-to-year, and really enjoy working with you and being in our studio.  I cannot tell you how much that means to me!  Nic, Ariane, Ericka and J.P. specifically noticed big improvements in students from last year.  I love being able to offer this opportunity, and that so many of you take full advantage of it!  Thanks for participating - it is so exciting to bring these amazing instructors to you!  Congratulations on a great week!

We do not automatically cancel if schools cancel!
We will make decisions based on weather and road conditions by 1:30 on questionable days. Call 463-2983 for recorded message, or check APA's Facebook page.  We also try to email if we cancel but are not always able to do so:
  • Too many school districts function differently
    and we have  students from St Johns to
    Mt Pleasant, and Carson City to Breckenridge! 
  • Often back roads are bad, but city and main
    roads are clear.
    ​I confer with out-of-town students and teachers
    ​when making a decision.
Please use your own judgement for safety! 
Call or text 463-2983 if you will not attend –
and please leave student’s first and last name.
