Through this program, your child/children will have the opportunity to explore various dance styles while learning about different cultures and celebrating our shared humanity.

Our team of amazing instructors is dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment for all participants. They will ensure that each child receives personalized attention and guidance, allowing them to develop their skills, boost their confidence, and embrace their uniqueness.

To ensure a smooth start to the program, we kindly request that you arrive a few minutes early on the first day to complete any necessary paperwork. 

We have made some preparations for the dance studio and are excited about it. Here we are providing directions and information about parking and the layout of the university.

To get to the dance studio from parking lot I-30, you'll want to follow these directions:

1. Enter the Buffalo state University Rockwell Hall from the I-30 parking lot entrance.

2. There will be signs “Free Diversity Dance” to follow while in the hall.

3. Once you're in the building, locate the elevators. These should be marked or indicated on the signs.

4. Take the elevator to the floor where the dance studio is located. Room number” see calendar”

5. Once you reach the correct floor, follow any additional signs or directions to the dance studio.

As for parking, will be free during classes. In the two parking lots “ see calendar” you can park there and then follow the directions I provided to reach the dance studio.

Regarding the seating for parents and volunteers, it's great to hear that there will be plenty of seating available. This will make it more comfortable for parents to wait while their children are attending the dance classes. Building friendships among parents is always a positive outcome of such events.

For volunteers, all are welcome, we will have a sign in sheet.

I hope this information is helpful, In addition to the classes, we are also planning a family field day where parents and siblings can participate and enjoy various activities together. It will be a wonderful opportunity for everyone to connect and create lasting memories. More details about the field day will be shared with you soon.

Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns leading up to the start of the classes. We are here to assist you in any way we can.

Once again, we are delighted to have your child/children as part of our diverse and dynamic community. Together, let us foster a love for dance, respect for differences, and a spirit of unity that will resonate beyond these classes.

Thank you for your trust and support. We look forward to embarking on this exciting journey with your child/children.
