safe, healthy and nurturing environment . This is YOUR studio and whether
you are a dancer, parent, or sibling we provide a comfortable setting.
Each year we present a themed dance recital at the lovely and newly renovated Ruth Eckerd Hall in
Clearwater, FL.  This years theme was celebrating our 20th anniversary - 20 Years and the Show Goes On.  
Each
class showcased a terrific and entertaining number in either ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, lyrical or
contemporary.   The Suncoast Academy of Dance staff and backstage volunteers did a great job of
encouraging the dancers and organizing a fabulous show and experience for the audience and dancers.
