Hope Academy’s first day of dance classes for 2023-2024 is on Saturday, September 23. This will be a “get to know you” and “get settled” day as older students are placed in classes that fit their age / experience levels.
We are also arranging for a dance clothing and shoe “swap” so that families can return their gently-used items and pick up new sizes. Anyone can donate (and we are grateful for all items that fit our dress code), but we will only be able to provide dance clothing and shoes to our students. Scholarship students will have the first opportunity to pick out their dance clothes and shoes.
Our dress code includes: black leotards, pink tights, pink or black ballet shoes (leather or canvas), tap and jazz shoes (all styles). Donations can be dropped off at the Highland Ave entrance of East Liberty Presbyterian Church (TU-FRI 9 am to 8 pm; SA & SU 9 am to 2 pm). Please put donations in a bag labeled “Hope Academy” and include sizes on items, if possible. Read More
