Thank you so much for understanding!

Footworks, Spotlight, and JCMDS team up each year for Project Dance and host a mock competition that gives our dancers real stage time with costumes, lights, an audience, and adjudicated feedback. It’s one of my favorite days!

Caroline danced beautifully, and every single member of my comp team made me proud today. Ready for season!

Project Dance is a collaboration of three area dance studios: Spotlight, Footworks, and JCMDS. Throughout the dance season, Project Dance has provided multiple events for all students to grow and develop. The vision of this project is to teach children how to work together, create friendships, and celebrate one another. 💞👯

The Local Debut is just one educational opportunity that Project Dance offers our dancers. It is a preview show featuring the competition routines from Spotlight, Footworks, JCMDS. We welcome the public to attend and to celebrate the progress of all our students. 🌱🏆

🎄 Great News! 🎄

Several local businesses will be staying open later this Wednesday evening, which lines up perfectly with our Christmas party schedule.

Drop off your dancer, enjoy some kid-free local shopping, and knock out a few gifts (or just wander in peace, we won’t judge).

At the end of this Thanksgiving day, I keep coming back to how thankful I am for our dancers and their families. You show up, support your kids, and support this little studio of mine. I notice it. I appreciate it. And I’m grateful for each of you. ❤️

If you’ve ever messaged us and waited a bit for a reply… well, that’s because Miss Shaylen and Miss Lauren are usually knee-deep in dancing, tumbling, teaching, our families, etc. Those messages can be tricky for us to find if we lose the notification.

So we’ve called in backup! Say hi to Lexi, our new social media helper! She’ll be managing our Facebook posts and messages so you can get answers faster and updates sooner.

You’ll still hear from us, of course, but Lexi’s the one keeping things moving behind the scenes! 💜🪩🤸🏼
