Our New York experience was truly spectacular! Our students took class with Steps on Broadway in a variety of styles alongside students that live and work in New York City.

What a special day our little dancers shared with their daddies. As they walked the red carpet, sipped on punch, enjoyed nutella and strawberries, the girls were as pretty as princesses. Dads enjoyed a hula hoop contest, limbo and learned the foxtrot! Fun was had by all, thank you for making our first annual Daddy Daughter Dance so very special.
“I may find my prince, but my dad will always be my king.”
Our nutrition seminar with Patricia Mathisen (Nutrisha) and Dr. Leon Scott,MD (Go Sporti) was very informative for both our dancers and their parents. Learning what to eat before, during and after dance classes and performances was a huge part of the seminar. We also learned how to always eat balanced meals, healthy meals and how to shake up a meal to appease all taste buds! Thank you Nutrisha and Go Sporti for your knowledge!
