A little girl or little boy enters a large room with bright lights and walls covered with mirrors reflecting their smiles and excitement. They meet their new friends and are guided by a loving and caring teacher. The music and movement soon begin. Welcome to the beginning of a glorious today and a forever wonderful tomorrow. Yes, this is the magnificent world of the dance studio and all that it cultivates in the minds and bodies of our children.
