BIRTHDAY PARTIES: Need a new idea for your child’s birthday party? The Dance Works offers a variety of fun parties to choose from for your child and his/her friends. Parties are held for 1½ hours and consist of 1 hour of dance and physical activities and a half hour to open presents and/or enjoy cake and snacks. The parent shall provide all food, drinks, paper goods and utensils. The one-hour dance portion consists of song, dance and physical activities geared to the party theme. We also offer a fun-filled hour of physical activities and tumbling on our gym mats for those who would like that type of party. The cost is $100.00 per party. A deposit of $50.00 is required the day you book your party; the balance is due 2 weeks prior to your party. For more information, see Judy.
