Blue Lake Dance is expanding!

After an incredible fall term at Birch Grove Elementary, with 75 amazing dancers, we are proud to announce that The Blue Lake Dance Project is expanding! In January we will be taking our program to Zanewood Recreation Center. Our teachers are looking forward to working with a whole new batch of young, inspired dancers.

As always, we need to continue to give our students the best experience possible, which includes dance shoes, snacka and the best instructors we can provide. Please consider a donation to BLDP today, mail your check to:
