We are going to be throwing a big anniversary party to honour the amazing ladies who started it (Linda, Heather, and Hazel), as well as celebrate the friendships, memories, and impact the studio has had on all of our lives. We would love to have dancers and families from all the decades of La Danse there to join us.
When: Thursday, August 21st @ 5pm
Where: The Backyard in Saskatoon
Tickets: $10 for 13+, $5 for 12&under
Mark your calendars! We will have food available, a cash bar for the adults and a bouncy castle for the kids! It is going to be an amazing evening of fun, friends, and likely a lot of dancing!
As always, please reach out with any questions or concerns!
Thank you,
