Attention parents of 5th and 8th grade students who are auditioning in dance for acceptance to Bak, Dreyfoos, and other Arts Schools:
Ms. Penni Greenly will hold an “FYI” meeting Tuesday, September 25th, at 8:00 pm at our studio. We will discuss the ins and outs of preparing for the audition, whether it is the best option for your child, and within their goal range and level of training. We will also offer information on what Southern Dance Theatre has available to help your student prepare for their audition.
Hope to see you at the meeting and answer as many questions and concerns you may have.
