Kick Off The Dance Year in October!
Celebrate National Dance Week
October 4 th – 13 th 2024!
You spoke and we listened! It wasn’t an easy decision to break with our over 30-year tradition, but after hearing from so many studio owners, our Board of Directors discussed it at length and agreed that it will be better having NDW in October, rather than so close to recitals and nationals.
It will be a great way to start the dance year and we look forward to your help making our first October National Dance Week the best ever!
