Dear Parents, Dancers, Family and Friends,
We are so glad that you have joined us for our 10th annual
Spring Recital! It’s amazing to look back and see how far GDU has
come over the past 10 years. We began with Gwinnett Parks and
Recreation offering classes at 2 locations, with 2 teachers and 30
dancers in the recital. We have grown to a studio location with 3 dance
rooms and 4 park locations and this year is our biggest recital yet! This
weekend over 300 dancers will step on the stage for an experience that
will last them a lifetime.
Thank you to all of the volunteers that make this show possible!
Recital day is a very important day for our dancers. We appreciate all
you do to make it special.
Thank you parents for sharing your dancers with us and entrusting
us to instill a love of dance in them every week.
Thank you dancers for dancing your hearts out on stage. We hope
that you have the most amazing time!
All of us at GDU look forward to seeing you soon!
Happy Dancing!
