June News From
Studio 180 Dance
Congratulations on your awesome Recital and Aerial Dance Showcases! We are so proud of all of our students and thankful for their families' support throughout the past year! A special congratulations to our 2009 - 2010 award winners, Ashley Register, Lindsey Register, Samantha Newman, Kali Gilson and Paulina Grajewski; and our scholarship winners, Kinsey Staton-Penkert, Maddie Battista, Lindsey Ray and Maddie Micek. And a special thank you to our backstage helpers at the recital. We couldn't have had such a smooth and fun show without you!

And now it's summer and time to think about summer and fall registration. We have a full summer program with classes and camps. Dancing during the summer months will help you maintain your technique and strength for the fall semester. Also, we will be hosting some master classes this summer to provide specialized instruction! We will keep you posted on dates, times and costs. The faculty at Studio 180 can't wait to keep dancing and growing with returning and new students. See you in the studio!
