NSD26 is here — and it’s going to be the year that starts it all. The class schedule has officially dropped, and it’s everything we dreamed of and more. ✨ Priority registration opens Monday, June 30th at 9 a.m. ✨ Open enrollment begins Sunday, July 7th This season is about more than just dance — it’s about building something bigger than ourselves. It’s about creating a space where dancers grow confident, strong, expressive, and proud of who they are and what they can do. Where families feel seen, supported, and inspired by the community they’re part of. We’re going to have fun. We’re going to work hard. We’re going to make magic. And together — we’re going to leave a ripple that lasts. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to dance, to leap, to join a movement that matters — this is it. Let’s build the legacy together. #NSD26 #NextStepDance #HaveFunWorkHard #DanceCommunity #DanceWithPurpose #BloomingtonILDance

To our teachers and staff: thank you for your passion and preparation. To our dancers: thank you for your magic. And to our AMAZING volunteer parents backstage—you are truly the heartbeat of this show. You kept our kids safe, entertained, and ready to shine. We’re so grateful. ✨ Just a reminder: The studio is closed June 9–15 so our team can rest and reset. We’ll be back in the office June 16.
