Changed!! Spring Show Dress Rehearsal Info

We've been bumped! Due to a school activity being held at Massaponax HS, we have been required to change our Dress Rehearsal date. Note: Jazz, Tap & Musical Theater has now been changed to Monday, May 19th. The Ballet, Modern & Irish Step is the same. I understand how inconvient this may be for you all, but I am at the mercy of the school. Thank-you for your understanding, Ms. Jen Click below for details

fbc_irish_01
This year, 30 of FBC's Irish Step dancers participated in the Spotsylvania St. Patrick's Day parade. After marching, the students performed varies jig's and reel's wearing their ghillies (soft sole shoes) and their jigs (hard sole/tap shoes). All levels participated and the event was enjoyed by all. Beginner level Irish classes will be offered this summer as well as Drill techniques for intermediate and advanced levels and a new class entitled "Ceili & Figures." Keep an eye out for the new summer schedules coming in April.
