What Makes the SDA Student Experience Different?
Sunny Weeks
During our *SUNNY WEEKS* dancers will celebrate the art of dance & engage with their classmates in a fun and creative environment. Sunny Week activities will vary, but might include: thematic dance parties, dance games, and challenges.
There will be 5 *SUNNY WEEKS* for the 2024-2025 season (September, November, January, February, & April).
We will send an email two weeks in advance with the special theme for each *SUNNY WEEK* and we encourage dancers to dress up for the theme if they want!

2024-2025: Bloom & Boogie (flowers), Drizzle & Dazzle (weather), Aloha 2025 (Moana/Hawaiian), We're Jammin' (sleepover theme), & SDA Party Animals Go Into the Wild (jungle/animals)
