May 24th-30th is blocking week!

*Blocking day for Monday classes will be May 19th since we are closed the 26th.

What is blocking week? During this week, each class will rehearse their routine in studio 1 at TDC. Dancers will get to cheer each other on and rehearse as if they are on stage! (Please note, we do not have a dress rehearsal for the recital.)
