A group of Dancenter parents declared Saturday, August 11th as the Annual clean-up day at the Dancenter. We met at 9am and worked until 2pm cleaning closets, trophy cases, windows, blinds, bars, floors, hanging lights, removing gravel & trash from the parking lot and even vacuming the roof on the playhouse. This group of parents did a wonderful job and have informed me they will be back in December to decorate for Christmas. Thank you guys for being here for the Dancenter and mostly for me because I am just getting too old to do it alone. Phyllis
