Sept. 14-19 - Bring A Friend Week!

Everything is more fun with friends! Bring a friend week is a great opportunity to share your love of dance with friends.  Please make sure all friends are age and level appropriate for the class they are attending with your dancer.  

To bring a friend:

Please have the friends' parent fill out our consent form by following this link:
Bring A Friend Form or complete the form at the front desk.

This will ensure we have the new friends parental consent for the dancer to participate as well as make sure you receive credit for your friend joining AEDC. 

When a current dancer brings a NEW friend (not already enrolled as a student at AEDC), the current dancer will receive credit for one month of class (up to $50) if that friend registers and joins a class. 

WELCOME BACK TO DANCE

We are very excited to begin our 2015-2016 dance year!  Classes start Monday, August 24.
We hope everyone had a wonderful relaxing summer and is ready to get back to class.

We welcome back most of our wonderful instructors - Miss Laci, Mrs. Madison, Mr. Victor, and Mrs. Ashley.  We also wish Miss Kate the best as she leaves us to continue her college education at Anderson University.

If you have not already registered, it is not too late!  
Visit our parent portal to view class availability and register.
