THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNER

Huge thank you to for supporting our dancers as a recital sponsor this year! ⚾️

As some of you know, outside of dance, our family spends a lot of time on the baseball field, and my son has attended several of their summer camps and plays for their 13u team. We’ve had a great experience every time.

If you have a ballplayer who is serious about improving their game, we highly recommend checking them out. Their coaches are fantastic, the facility is top notch, and the training environment really pushes kids to get better.

If you’re looking for a summer baseball camp, this is definitely one worth considering. Tryouts for fall teams are also coming in May!

Thank you again to GamePrep for supporting our community!



We still have a few sponsorship slots left. If you’re interested in being featured in our recital program this year be sure to reach out.
