Our competitive dancers attend their first competition of the season, good luck dancers!

Session Two - Parent Viewing Week

Calling all parents, guardians and caregivers!

Get ready for an exciting opportunity to view your child's dance class(es).

The purpose of Viewing Week is to allow you the opportunity to see your dancer(s) working within class during their regularly scheduled class time so, as much as possible, the instructors will be keeping the class as it would normally be run. Please keep in mind that having an audience in dance class is atypical for the dancers, so please turn your cellphones to silent and keep distractions to minimum.

We look forward to seeing you there!

Calling all dance families!

Merritt Dance Society would like to remind you of our Annual Winter "Post-Holidays" Bottle Drive.  Traditionally, we help families and businesses clean up their empties after their holiday festivities.

While we have two dates/times for drop-off of bottle returns (see below), we would also pick up from your home or business for you, beginning January 2nd and throughout that week.  Please contact Toni Stewart directly to make arrangements for pickup, either by phone, (250) 378-8869, or email, leyliam264@gmail.com.

No classes. Studio closed.
