This is where davianna goes to dance school. When I was there last they're having a showcase dance recital. So we got to see how she is progressing. Further, they were basically trying out for certain teams for their upcoming recital.

The class is great! The teacher has so much patience. I have a boy and he is crazy but the teacher was able to work with him. The only problem I had was contacting them. Called about 6 times at different times of the day and when I finally went in I waited about 20 minutes before I got someone to help me.
