DSD Spring Break Extended


Dear DSD Families,

We hope you are well! We have decided to extend Spring Break until March 22, 2020. Any classes missed can be made up once we reopen.

In the meantime, we will be offering valuable and fun online content through social media and email. Keep an eye out for videos from our teachers and advanced students to keep your dancer challenged and entertained!  Please look for choreography videos for each class to keep your dancer up to speed! 

It is our top priority to create a happy healthy environment for children to thrive in. We appreciate your help in keeping Desert Star Dance a wonderful community to be a part of. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us through email (desertstardance@gmail.com) or phone (480-813-7827).

Thank you,

Ann Bode
Owner/Director
