NEW SEASON!

It's hard to believe, but the summer is over and classes are back in session. It is so important to incorporate an activity into your child' daily schedule.

Go for quality, not quantity. Your child will benefit most from one or two activities that are fun, reinforce social development, and teach new skills. Too much scheduled time can be stressful, especially for young children, and may make it harder to concentrate on schoolwork. When evaluating extracurricular activities, consider your family schedule and personal energy level. Multiple activities per child may be too much to manage, particularly if the activities have overlapping times, disparate locations, require your attendance, or disrupt the dinner hour.

APOLLO AUDITIONS 4.3.11




We are not just a dance school but we are a family. We speak life into all of our dancers, teachers, staff and parents. We have a Performance Arts Company that lives, speaks and eat dance. Our director, teachers and staff are dedicated to this art form called "Dance."

Our director wanted our Performance Arts Company to audition for Apollo Amatuer Night Show. Like, always there were no complaints only excitement. One thing that truly sticks out is that our Company members Do Not showcase intimidation. Our Company Members just enjoy dancing and the light was shining on them on Sunday.

Even though it was very early in the morning (5am.) Our blood was pumping because we claimed victory. The audition called for the first 300 acts and we knew that we were making it. We entered five acts and it was an amazing experience.

We are featured online and in print of the NY Daily News (4.5.11)

LaChaney's Dance & Music Academy presents "HOLIDAY REFLECTIONS" 2010




HOLIDAY REFLECTIONS 12.18.10
The Holiday performance tickets are now on sale. The seats are general admission seating, not reserved. The performance venue is not as big as our year end recital, so please don't delay on purchasing your tickets, they tend to sell out quickly. Tickets are $10 in advance, and $17 at the door if available. All tickets can be purchased with CASH ONLY! Each student that will be participating in the holiday show will receive a performer pass the week before the show, they must have this in order to perform. Each class will receive information as to what they need to wear for their performance next week. We will try to keep it very simple, hopefully something they already have in their closets. Please make sure your child has good tights, and the appropriate shoes. I will be making a shoe order on saturday, so if you know your child is missing something or may need to order a larger size please let us know ASAP.
