Costumes
Costumes have been charged and ordered! Please make sure your account is up to date since we are still missing some costume payments! Your dancer will not receive his/her costume until your account has been paid up to date! Costumes will arrive anywhere between now and a week before the show! Some costume companies take longer than others and some things just have a later ship date, and some things are in stock now! If you receive your dancers’ costumes early, please make sure to try them on right away and hang them in a safe place! As soon as we receive a full class of costumes, the teacher will hand them out! We cannot guarantee easy returns/exchanges as costume companies have gotten more difficult about this. We will do our best to make sure everything fits the best it can!

Some things you can look forward to is more parking, safer traffic area (located in an office park), better designed studios (all one level), higher ceilings, a much more responsive maintenance staff, and a shiny new dance home! We will be moving in over April vacation and we will begin classes at the new location on APRIL 28th!
**We need some help with packing/moving! Please email me becky@sdawestford.com if you are available to help us take apart some flooring and make the move April 21st and 22nd!

Spotlight On:
Abigail Martin Age 8
This is Abigail’s 3rd year at SDA. Abigail takes Hip Hop 1 with Miss Allie and Jazz 1 with Miss Chrissy. She is a joy to have in class and is kind to all of her classmates! She can pick up choreography quickly and is a great listener. She keeps improving every week with lots of confidence and we love watching her dance. We cannot wait for her to shine on stage in June and hopefully dance with us for many more years to come!
