Classes begin September 10, and
registrations are now being accepted for the 2007-2008 dance
season. All students must complete the registration form and
return with the annual registration fee ($25 individual; $35
family). A 10% discount will be given to students in the Performing
Arts Program or Young Dancers Program who pay the yearly tuition
in full before September 10, 2007. Registrations will
not be accepted until account balances are paid in full from
the prior season. Check with the Director if you are
uncertain about which classes or programs to register for or
if you have questions about class placement for the upcoming
year. All classes are held at the Grand Avenue Studios in St.
Paul.
The culmination of the school
year is the Spring Gala, a showcasing of all classes and levels.
This year’s Spring Gala performances will be held on May 21-22
(Wednesday and Thursday) at the E.M. Pearson Theatre, Concordia

student accounts must be paid in full.)
