Saturday, June 10th, from 6pm-9pm our students have the opportunity to show off their skills in our zoo themed student showcase/aerial family and friends party! Our performers have been working hard on coming up with animal themed acts, and I am so excited to see the show. I feel so full and happy with everything this studio has become in just one short year. That is major thanks to everyone who has embraced this community and this art form with such open arms (and a tight grip!!).
Of course, you don’t have to perform to join in the fun. We want everyone to come celebrate with us!
This event will be free, but we are recommending a $5- $10 donation to help us cover the food and drink spread!
