As an explanation...we will assess the need for an additional class time by class/level to make sure our dancers are ready for their upcoming competition.

Thanks for your understanding and patience! As a note....

Mon. Dec 23rd & Dec 30th - NO CLOGGING - Merry Christmas!
Sat. Jan 25th - Winter Showcase
All Around Solos
What are All Around Solos? Each year there 4 short dances called "All Around Solos". They are named for the type of solo they are. The 4 names of the solos are: Line, Show, Percussion, and Traditional. We (and your teacher) will try to keep you up-to-date on which one they are focusing on in class, so they can practice that one at home. Any encouragement from you to practice at home is greatly appreciated!
What is the Solo link? A link to our solos with a teaching section, a slow version, and a fast version of all 4 solos.
How much is access to the Solo link? It is $20.00 and it is an awesome tool that will help your dancer with his/her practice time at home. We decided to make access to the solo link OPTIONAL this year, but we STRONGLY recommend it. 
How do I get access to the Solo link? If your dancer is interested in this option, please email us and let us know and make the payment of $20 to the LaChere and we will get it ordered for you.
THANKS!
