School of Dance Announcement:

The YMCA has made a difficult decision to relinquish the School of Dance
at the end of 2008. This comes with many hours of research and
discussion. We want to continue to offer other YMCA programs to
families during these times. We are devastated to announce this
decision. We hope you will understand it is motivated soley by
the economic conditions and this decision is not taken lightly.
Many of our Youth and Family programs will continue and
we are eager to serve you in these program offerings.
