Teacher Update:
Due to scheduling conflicts, Miss Alexis will no longer be with us on Monday nights. However, Miss Melanie will be taking over those classes! Miss Melanie is a Co-Director of the By Grace Performance Team. We are so happy to have her teaching our Monday night students as well!!
Also, Miss Riley is returning for the month of January as she is on hiatus from her shows in Branson. She will be filling in throughout the month teaching technique during our classes. Welcome back Miss Riley!!
Our students are accomplishing great things this year and working hard in the classroom makes all the difference in a student's development. We also need to thank all our wonderful teachers for sharing their love and passion for dance, tumbling, and cheer with our students. We are truly blessed to have such great instructors!
