Parent Observation

This week, November 13 - 19, we invite Academy parents and guardians into the studio classroom to observe class. This is a wonderful opportunity to step inside the studios to witness all of the students' hard work and progress so far this season! 

We kindly ask that you limit the number of observers to 2 people per student to allow for comfortable seating for all who attend. *Note - Children's Division classes in Studio D have been emailed separately for observation plans. Please refer to your email.
