UPDATE – March 30, 2020

Hello Shine Community,

Thank you for your patience and support as we navigate this uncertain time. Thank you to those working on the front lines of the pandemic and providing services that support the continuity of health care, education, and other essential services. Thank you to all of the studio owners working so hard to offer a supportive and engaging space for dancers to stay in touch with their dance family, I know this connection means a lot to our kids right now.

We are now officially postponing our April and May events and look forward to a summer experience more connected and inspired than ever.

Mark your calendars with our SHINE summer dates!
