I know it was an extremely tough year on everyone and from the bottom of my heart I appreciate you, whether you continued sending your child to dance, participated in zoom classes or just sent us well wishes we thank you! 

The staff and I are so excited to embark on our 11th season this Fall! Our new schedule is out. We had to make a few adjustments due to staffing but we think this will be the best season yet! Classes start August 2nd. 

Our competition team had to pause in 2020-2021 but we are ready to jump back into action and are accepting new team dancers! Auditions are August 11th at the studio. Let us know if you would like more information. 

Let's Dance!

We will now be able to hold classes in Studio A, B....and C! GSMD also has new staff members! Regina Blankenship and Olivia Ratliff! Also our very own Sophie Aloisio will be leading some preschool and level 1 classes. Katie Crosswhite will also be assisting in leading those classes as well. Mrs. April, Mrs. Kelli, Mrs. Kathy and Miss Avery are still here too!
 
We will be missing Miss Madison this year as she begins the next chapter of her life at Radford University. We wish her the very best. 

With all this new space and new staff we are able to offer new classes too. Class levels have been divided out more so students of similar skills can be placed together.This will be so beneficial to everyone. We now offer Preschool, Level 1, Level 3, Level 3 and Level 4. As well as a new Pointé class! 

I can't wait to see all the old and new faces this Fall! Classes begin August 12. 

Much Love, 
Mrs. April

I am so excited to show off their talents at our first annual Christmas Dance Showcase! The show will start at 2:00 (students please arrive at 1:30). There will be no admission but in the spirit of the holiday season we will be accepting canned food for the food bank.

The night before the show (dec. 16) we will be hosting "Parents Night Out" from 5:00 to 8:30. If you would like to drop your dancer off to practice for the show, play games and have pizza dinner while meeting other students from other classes....while you go out and Christmas shop, go to the movies, or just whatever you want!. Please register your dancer by Dec. 14th. Cost is just $25.00 and includes dinner and a drink.

Anyone else who is interested in our studio is also more than welcome to attend. There will be games, prizes, snacks and of course....TREATS!
