Summer is a great time to get OUTSIDE in Alaska, so we suspend our activities during the summer. We will keep you up to date with all the dance-related activities going on during the summer and start getting our Fall schedule put together.

We have had a great year and we want to thank all the great dancers and friends that we have made in the last year. Have a great summer!
