Tremaine Nationals
Congratulations to Isaac Huerta for being one of the eight finalist for Tremaine Teen Dancer of the Year. Good Job Isaac.
However, it is not these awards that makes me proud to own this studio. It is all of you, the dancers, families and friends who value technique, passion and the arts that make my job a very blessed one. Thank you all for supporting the studio and joining in your dancer's growth and achievements.
