Our date for the JANUARY SHOW is set for Friday, January 16th at 7 pm. This is an informal event designed to give students an opportunity to “take the stage” and show off what they have been learning since September. Students will wear the studio “dress code,” designated for their particular class, the evening of the show. Just like in class, the students need to have hair pulled up and away from their face. The teachers will review all this with the students.
It will be held at South Hadley High School. Students are asked to be there no later than 6:30 pm (unless informed otherwise). Refreshments will be served at the end of the evening!
Tickets for the show will go on sale on Monday, January 5th. Ticket prices are $6 for the public (students of the studio are free). We would like to make our annual donation to the local food pantry (at the time of this event, they are usually trying to recover from the holidays). If you bring a canned food donation in when you purchase your tickets, then your ticket price is reduced to $5.

WINTER PARKING ~ It can get tricky with the snow to park and we thank you in advance for your patience in finding a spot. Please park on one side of Princeton Avenue, the side closet to the studio. We do need to remind everyone to not use the driveways on Federal Street as turn-arounds. You can go to the end of Federal Street and take a left, as that brings you back to Everett Street and then back to East Street. Owners are concerned about the safety of their family and have brought this to our attention. So, as we promised and as good neighbors, we ask that you use care and please do not use private driveways. We thank you in advance for your help in this matter.

Mary Ann Hanlon) and her husband, Rick. It's called Mary Ann's Dance and More and is located at 56 Cottage Street.
