Why Spend Money on Dance? FROM A DANCE PARENT: One of my friends asked "Why do you pay so much money and spend so much time running around for your daughter to dance?" Well I have a confession to make: I don't pay for my daughter's dance lessons. Or her pointe, Jazz & tap shoes. Or her hundreds of costumes.... So, if I am not paying for dance , what am I paying for? - I pay for those moments when my girl becomes so tired she feels like quitting but doesn't. - I pay for the opportunity that my girl can have and will have to make life-long friendships. - I pay for the chance that she may have amazing instructors that will teach her that dance is not just about movement but about life. - I pay for my child to learn to be disciplined. - I pay for my child to learn to take care of her body. - I pay for my child to learn to work with others and to be a proud , supportive, kind and respectful team member. - I pay for my child to learn to deal with disappointment, when she doesn't get that score she hoped for , or fell during a move she has practiced a thousand times, but still gets up and is determined to do her BEST next time... - I pay for my girl to learn to make and accomplish goals. - I pay for my daughter to learn that it takes hours and hours and hours and hours of hard work and practice to create a champion, and that success does not happen overnight. - I pay so that my daughter can be in the studio instead of in front of a screen... I could go on but, to be short, I don't pay for dance; I pay for the opportunities that dance provides my child to develop attributes that will serve her well throughout her life and give her the opportunity to bless the lives of others. From what I have seen for many, many years, I think it is a great investment! I am sure that other parents get similar questions. "Why do you pay for competitive baseball?" "Why do you pay for Quarterback training?" "Why do you pay for club soccer?" "Why does your kid swim year round?".... I just think it is important to realize what we are really paying for.

Dear parents and students of our SBS family, I hope you had all had a wonderful holiday! Please be advised that, due to the news of an upward trend in reported COVID-19 cases, and our concern for the health and safety of our students, beginning this week we are going to request that all students, parents and visitors over the age of 6 (who are not otherwise medically prohibited from doing so) please wear protective face masks at all times while inside the studio. We had prev...iously required wearing masks in the lobby as we have been able to hold classes that meet the state-mandated social distancing requirements however, due to an increase in risk levels, we are implementing this policy change for the time being. We will give all students a short break every 30 minutes when they may safely remove their masks if they wish to do so. We will of course continue monitoring the Governor’s updates and state recommendations on the spread of the virus and adjust our policy accordingly. We hope virus levels will soon begin trending downwards and this will only be a short-term change, however our students are our number one concern and we want to do everything we can to protect their health while still offering them an opportunity to enjoy their love of dance and interact (safety) with their friends and teachers.

APPLAUSE DANCEWEAR is having a sale until Monday use code: Holiday20! Please visit their website or social media for more details.

Dear Members of our SBS Family, We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that 2021 brings us all joy and happiness. We would like to advise you that, due to staff members reporting exposure to individuals who have tested positive for COVID, and the general increased likelihood of COVID transmission naturally brought about by the holiday season, we have decided that, as a precaution, all classes will be fully virtual through Saturday, January 16. We plan to return to reg...ular sessions on Monday, January 18. We thank you for your patience and understanding. Please pass the message on to your friends to ensure everyone knows.
