We have some BIG news to share! 
We are upgrading our dance floors this summer! 

The Dance School is conditionally approved to receive a sizable new COVID relief grant. We will release the name of the granting agency and the exact amount of the award at a later date, as final approval of the grant contract paperwork is still pending. This new grant is intended to help us continue to recover from the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and help our organization be an innovative part of the local economy going forward.

We proposed, for this grant, to undertake a much-needed deferred maintenance project, namely renovation of our dance floors. Our current floors are over 16 years old, and 10-15 years is considered the maximum life of Marley vinyl flooring and the sprung dance floor substrate. Our wood floor is similarly showing its age and use.

This Summer we will be installing new Marley flooring and sprung dance floor in Studio A, and refinishing the wood floors in studio B. In addition to the grant, we will use funds donated prior to the pandemic that were specifically earmarked for renovation of our dance floors. In the grant proposal, we also committed to contributing $6,000 towards our new floor project. Bringing these three sources of funding together will give us enough to complete this renovation project this summer before our Fall 2023 classes begin.

All proceeds from our spring fundraising events will all contribute to the floor renovation project to be completed this summer.
