WHAT PROGRESS LOOKS LIKE IN DANCE
Achievements in dance can be seen in small ways and big ones, and we advocate for celebrating both! In our experience at Expressions Dance, progress is much more about the personal wins than it is about the name or number of your child’s class level. Click HERE to read about what progress looks like in dance!
FALL ENROLLMENT IS OPEN FOR ACADEMIC PRESCHOOL! We are now accepting registration for Fall 2025-26 preschool at both locations! The benefit to our preschool is that it INCLUDES our dance and tumbling classes! Get it all done in one! There is no reason to sign up for separate dance, tumbling, and preschool programs! We offer it all and have the BEST TEACHERS around! Leap'n Learners ignites a child's mind and awakens a passion for learning and movement that will last a lifetime. Space is limited! www.goleapnlearn.com
FOR PARENTS OF PRESCHOOL DANCERS- MARCH THEME
Every month our lesson plan focuses on learning and mastering several skills. In March our theme is "Leavin' on a Jet Plane." We will be taking off on an adventure to explore a different country each week. We will discover new styles of cultural music while incorporating valuable dancing skills. We are also starting recital routines this month! We will be focusing on: passes (ballet and jazz), toe/heel rocks, balancing, sad faces, chasses, and keeping our hands to ourselves. We encourage you to get involved and have them practice their skills at home!
PARKING LOT SAFETY
Please remember the drive through lane at Bountiful is not a waiting spot. When you are stopping the flow of traffic in our drive through to wait for classes to come out, cars back up all the way onto Highway 89 and it’s not safe. Help us by waiting in designated parking stalls and being courteous to other cars trying to exit the parking lot.
PROPER DANCE ATTIRE
Please review the class dress code requirements and make sure your dancer is dressed appropriately for class! We cannot provide proper feedback if we aren't able to see the alignment of our dancers. Send your dancers with their hair pulled back (bun for ballet). STARS dancers must wear their uniform, pink tights (footless or convertible so they can pull them up for jazz), and ballet shoes. STARS dancers in 3rd grade and older also need jazz shoes. Please help us by sending your child to class in the right attire.
COMMUNITY CONNECTION
Good luck to our company teams who will be representing Expressions Dance by performing at several Drill Team Reviews this month! We love supporting our local high school dance programs! Way to go!
THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR DONATING DURING OUR HEARTS FOR HUNGER FOOD DRIVE!

DAD RECITAL DANCE- SIGN UP NOW!
One of the most unforgettable moments of our annual recital is the Daddy/Dancer Routine! This cherished tradition brings dancers and their dads (or father figures) together for a heartwarming and fun-filled performance.

(Moms, feel free to volunteer your husband’s!)
Don’t miss your chance to be part of this magical moment!
The participation fee is $50 and includes a shirt and rehearsals.
You are not required to attend all rehearsals, and we will share the practice video link to you from Dropbox.
