dancEd
Mark your calendars! Are you ready to be wowed? The students at Arbour Vista have been busy practising their dance moves . The theme this year is Broadway and there are 2 showtimes available for viewing. We kindly ask that families with a last name beginning with letters A-L come to the 11:00 am show and that families with a last name beginning with letters M-Z come to the 1:15pm showing.
Please note that seating will be first come, first served. We would kindly ask that anyone choosing to attend the performance stay for the duration, out of respect for all performers. The show is approximately 1 hour long. Please refer to the “dancEd Finale Information” email for more information, including class themes and dress suggestions.
