When the school year ends and summer begins, schedules shift, routines relax, and many activities take a break. While it’s great for dancers to enjoy some downtime, summer is actually one of the best times to keep dancing! Continuing to move, train, and explore dance during the summer months helps dancers grow in ways that can make a big difference when fall classes begin again. 💖 Read More!
