MARCH 6-9 OBSERVATION

Parents are welcome to observe all classes the week of March 6-9.  Instructors will open all curtains for viewing in Studios 1, 2, and 3.  For those who have class upstairs in Studio 4, you are welcome to sit quietly inside the classroom and observe when teachers invite you in the last fifteen minutes of class.  Classes in our new East Wing (studios 5-8) will be displayed on the monitors as usual.  Competition rehearsals are closed to observation.

Dancers selected for this highly coveted and committed team train between 6 – 20 hours per week with a strong emphasis in ballet training. Ensemble members are required to take ballet and jazz classes weekly (tap is optional but encouraged).  They typically attend 4-6 competitions each year as well as 2-3 conventions.

CPAC Rec Team Members Announced

Under the direction of Lisa Geger, we are excited to announce the team members of our newest competitive group “CPAC Rec”!  This group is by audition only and is for dancers ages 11 and over who wish to compete at a recreational level.  Congratulations to all of you and best of luck on your first season.

Parking & Traffic

For dancers’ safety, please remember to only drop off and pick up dancers at either of the North doors (facing Rock Bridge High School) OR the South door (by the brick columns).

Please enter and exit from our facility using the one-way North driveway (west to east), through the South lot by Jimmy Johns, or the East drive by the soccer field.  Please do not use the West entrance to our parking lot or drive between our building and the one story building behind us.  Due to a new tenant behind our building, parking and traffic is extremely congested there.  That area should only be used by our Staff.  The safety of your children is most important to us.

Just a quick clarification regarding the traffic flow on the North side of the CPAC building (the side that faces RBHS with the tall white columns).  Traffic flows ONE WAY through the semi-circle drive from west to east.  Cars should enter from the West (closest to Commerical Drive) and exit to the East (toward the East wing of the building).  Do not enter the semi-circle drive by the East wing.  Please assist us in keeping traffic flowing smoothly and minimizing congestion.  The new driveway on the East end of the building (nearest the soccer field) is for two way traffic to access the rear of the building.
