Spectator pass (no rides)=$10 and Dancers are free (no rides). Rides open at 10:00. Your call time listed above is the time you should meet at the Axis tent, not the time to arrive at the park. Please allow an hour to an hour and a half for the ticket line process. Please don't allow dancers to ride rides between their dances, wait until their dances are completed for the day before letting them play. Thanks!

NEXT ON THE AGENDA!!

As many of you may have heard, Axis is closing it's doors. We're all pretty bummed about it and are saddened by the truth that many of our dancers, whom we've worked so hard with and have seen improve above and beyond for the past few years, will be forced to find new studios. Tiffany and Kalli are lucky enough to have worked at other studios this past year and have built outstanding relationships with these studio directors. We're strongly encouraging Axis students to enroll at these schools, both of which are nearby to Axis.
One studio is Advanced Performance Dance (AP Dance) in Daybreak. 11557 Roselawn Way (5005 W). The owner is Julie Fisher. Please visit her website: apdance.weebly.net you can also email her with any questions at apdance01@yahoo.com

The other is Extravadance in West Jordan. 8524 S Welby Farm Road (4300w). The owner is Cindy Wiggins. Extravadance's website is: extravadancestudio.com you can also call the studio with any questions at 801-280-0838

At both studios your students will continue to grow and learn in a challenging and positive atmosphere. Both studios offer competition teams for ages 5 and older and are awarded highly at competitions. As well Ap Dance and Extravadance offer combo and recreational classes. The directors of both AP Dance and Extravadance are veterans in the dance world and are extremely dedicated to providing quality dance education to their students.

You are always welcome to ask Tiffany and Kalli any questions about either studio, or any other studios for that matter. The most important thing to both of us, is that your dancers are moving on to a quality school and that they'll continue to improve and develop into the beautiful dancers we see them growing into.

Parents and students, thanks for all your hard work, for your patience, your dedication and your support in these past years. We really are so lucky to have this job, it's your dancers that make our job what it is and we love it. Please keep in touch with us, we love to see how our dancers are doing and how they're growing. You can find us both on Facebook, please look for us there!
WE LOVE YOU ALL!!
