Dear Dance Families,

The year is almost coming to a close but before we welcome in summer we hope you will join us for two final dance-related events:

Junior Project performances are at 4:00 and 6:30pm on Thursday, June 12. No tickets required. $5 suggested donations. We will be selling after the 1st performance and before the 2nd so please stop by the gear table! Better yet, if you can help sell in between the shows or put gear away at 6:30pm that would be tremendously helpful. Signup HERE.

And… let’s celebrate the close of another wonderful year as part of the LaG dance community! We will be meeting after the dance performance on Thursday, June 12, at 8:15pm at the Empire Hotel rooftop bar. We are keeping it casual - no resy, no cover cost - just stop by and say hello and admire the view. Please RSVP HERE so we have a sense of numbers.

Finally, as we start to wrap up this year and look to next, a gentle reminder that we cannot offer these wonderful experiences without your help. The students put in the heart, but it takes a village to make everything come together. Please reach out to us at dance@laguardiahspa.org if you are able to support the dance department next year as part of the senior committee, or otherwise.

Warmly,

Katie and Joslin
