New Building Owners

Thank you for your continued support and presence at Lynn Panting Dance. We want to let our community know that the building our studio calls home has been sold to Connections for Seniors. We wish the Benevolent Irish Society all the best in their next chapter and extend our heartfelt thanks for their years of stewardship in this space. We’re also happy to share that LPD is staying put—our lease remains in place, and we look forward to continuing to dance, grow, and build community together right here. We warmly welcome Connections for Seniors and look forward to seeing their work flourish in the building.

April 12 Show Run

We’re excited about our first show run of the season! These rehearsals give students the chance to build stamina, rehearse their costume changes, and feel confident heading into showtime. Show runs will take place on April 12, April 26, May 3, and May 10 from 6:00–7:30 p.m. at the studio. These sessions are open to all students in Level 1 and up. While attendance is optional for the first three dates, the final rehearsal on Saturday, May 10 is mandatory for all students.

Each student must bring a laundry basket labeled with their name to keep their personal items organized during quick changes.

Due to limited space and the need for dancers to move efficiently between routines, parents are not permitted to stay during these rehearsals. Thank you for helping us create a focused, supportive environment for our dancers!

Spring Break April 13-27

Please note an update to our Spring Break schedule! Spring Break will now run from Friday, April 13 to Sunday, April 27, 2025, which is slightly longer than originally indicated on our calendar. There will be no classes during this time, and regular programming will resume on Monday, April 28. We hope all our dancers enjoy a well-deserved rest and come back refreshed and ready for our final stretch of the season!
