Officially closing-- Watertown district says no after school activities, so that "seals the deal"... Sadness...Please share the news!- Rhonda
Remember- RFW runs on a convenient 30 week session...so snow days are "ok" because you pay us for 30 weeks total and we TEACH for an extra three weeks...giving each class a built in 3 week "cushion" for snow days and emergencies... No need to fret about makeups but you can ALWAYS attend another class at your level if you wish. Simply click the schedule link on the homepage of the website and come on in...no pass needed:) We aim to make YOUR dance life manageable...Rhonda

Just drove from Watertown through Carthage and to Beaver Falls...and back. I will drive in anything with very few qualms, but do NOT wish my a.m. dancers to do the same with their "precious cargo". No Thursday a.m. dance. Thursday p.m. classes, please check here and your email around 3:00 p.m. for a decision regarding tonight's classes. Thursday a.m. dancers, please click the link on the homepage of our website and choose a makeup class on Wednesdays or Saturdays with Miss Katie:)- I shall miss you and your tutus:( Miss Rhonda

The faculty breakfast today was AMAZING! So proud of how committed and excited my teachers are to continue to bring YOU the best dance experience possible. Just a preview of some of the great ideas/changes: Summer POWER WEEKS are heading your way! Next season, we are incorporating 5-10 minute pauses between classes for built in shoe changes, potty breaks, drinks and parent bonding:) As of February, staff will be easy to spot in their FACULTY shirts, and we are bringing you more technique and longer classes next season! Just a sneak peek at why you want to circle APRIL 1st on your calendar and get ready to request your registration number. YES, this year you will get a number and register PRIVATELY with Rhonda...another improvement!!
