Thursday, July 2, girls and boys ages two and up took to the stage to showcase the ballet, tap, jazz, pointe and hip-hop skills they learned during their time at The Dance Shop this year.
Due to the unexpected changes that had to be made to all extra-curricular activities in the wake of COVID-19, The Dance Shop staff was unsure if they were going to be able to have their annual dance recital this year. However, after all of the hard work of the dedicated students and staff, they wanted to do everything in their power not to cancel. To prevent from canceling, it was decided that the "A Truly Tropical Treat" recital would be held outside, under the stars.
In addition to dance classes for ballet, tap, jazz, pointe and boys hip-hop, The Dance Shop also offers gymnastics and mixed martial arts (MMA) classes for children and adults. Registration for 2020-21 dance classes is happening now, and classes will begin Thursday, Sept. 3. To register, visit www.thedanceshopliveoak.com, or call (386) 362-1906 for more information.
The Dance Shop is located at 339 SW Goldkist Ave., in Live Oak.
