Frequently asked Questions

 

What is SF (Spring Fling)
Spring Fling is our annual dance recital. It is usually held on the first Saturday of June at either Burbank or Burroughs High School. Costumes are paid for during the first three weeks of the winter session. Dancers must register in both the winter and spring sessions to participate. Because dancers perform as a team, there are mandatory class attendance requirements which become more stringent in the intermediate and advanced level classes. There is a mandatory rehearsal at the high school the week before the recital.
