JUNE NEWSLETTER (2025)
Dear DBSD Families,
We hope you're all enjoying the start of summer! Please see below for a few important updates, announcements, and exciting opportunities coming up at the studio.
RECITAL RECAP
What a Show!
Recital 2024/2025 was a huge success—and we're officially counting down to 60 years of dance excellence at DBSD!
Our dancers lit up the stage with passion, precision, and heart. We’re so proud of their hard work and growth this season. Huge thanks to our amazing instructors, faculty, and recital volunteers, we truly couldn’t do it without you!
🎉 Here's to 59 incredible years... we can’t wait for 2025–2026 and the road to 60!
📸 Digital downloads of the show are coming soon, and we’ll share the link as soon as it
becomes available.
CONGRATULATIONS
Congratulations to our Scholarship Winners!
