Congratulations to our Novice Competitive Dancers who performed at Langdon Retirement last month! They represented FDC with great respect and kindness at the retirement home.

And a BIG THANK YOU to the dancers who participated in Teacup and Tulip’s Birthday Party! You brought so many donations for the Oxford County Animal Rescue! Thank you!

March is always an exciting month at the dance studio. Recital routine choreography begins, our Competition Team heads off to their first event and our Exam Programs start to ramp up as the countdown begins to exam day! There is certainly lots to keep us busy this month!

We are also excited to announce the theme of our 11th official recital this month. We will be giving out clues and hints on our social media and inside the studio throughout the month of March. We can’t wait to see if anyone figures it out this year!

Monthly Intention: Sweet & Sassy
Each month of our dancing year will highlight one of those ‘life lessons’ that dance gives us through our monthly intentions. Our monthly intention for March is SWEET & SASSY! Throughout the month of March you will see our teachers encouraging our dancers to develop their performance quality while working on their recital dances. We will bring the sass with our Fun in the Sun dress up week before March Break and will even let the parents sneak into class to check up on their sweetie-pie kids during Observation Week too!
