Parents that ordered dance photos, keep an eye on your inboxes today! 💙💚

Eeeeek, Katee's Dance Stop - galleries will start sending first thing Monday morning to the email provided on your order form!

These do take me a bit of time to get sent because you each get your own email/password protected gallery and I like to make sure everything is secure. So, if you see someone posting their photos before you get your email, have no fear, your photos are on the way too!

I am OBSESSED with this season's portraits, I poured a lot of love into them, I can't wait for you to enjoy them.

As always, thank you for your patience, recital season + the spring photo session burst + regular April/May craziness always means I get a bit backed up.

The editing queue is officially CAUGHT UP which means me and the kiddo are going to enjoy some SERIOUS summer fun and activities together this week because she has been so patient with me while I stared at my computer for two weeks. 😅💜

"I don't think my child will leave my side"

"I'm worried she won't listen"

"He's really shy"

Any of these sound familiar? You aren't alone. These are common concerns we hear from parents signing up their younger/preschool aged children for dance lessons.

But we have a secret... it's okay!

They need some time to trust us? Some students take a few classes before they're joining in.

They need a little extra practice to get used to waiting turns, sitting patiently, etc? We're here to help without judgement - every student is different and may need a different approach.

They're hesitant/shy in new situations? We let them go at their own pace, and guess what? Usually our students that start the season the most bashful are the ones being the most confident and smiley on stage.

Sometimes kids need time. Sometimes they need to try our mini movers class for a while to take it in with a parent. Sometimes it's just finding what works best for your child.

Whatever the case, we're here to help.

There is no "one way" or "right way" for children to enjoy dance.

Come see how Katee's Dance Stop is breaking the dance mold at our summer open house!! 💙💚

Thursday May 28th 6pm-8pm or Friday May 29th 5pm-8pm

💙 Moving right along with our recital night award winners!! 💙

This year we unveiled a BRAND NEW award - we were so excited to present our first ever L.E.A.P Award winner, Elia!!

Elia received this medal for exemplifying the L.E.A.P award credentials: Students that LEAD by example, have put in great EFFORT, achieved personal ACCOMPLISHMENTS and have shown PERSISTENCY through hard work.

We are extremely proud of her and how much she grew as a dancer this season. She always tries her absolute best, practices, asks questions, stays engaged, and isn't afraid to try something new.

Well deserved, give her a HUGE round of applause!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
