Advice to Depot Students:

“There are many reasons to take dance. Find the one that benefits you.  You may want to make it a career, you may enjoy the exercise and dancing around to the music, you may even enjoy being with your friends while learning the art.  Whatever the reason, do it because you want to and stick to your goals. Focus on your instruction. Do the best that YOU can do, not what the next dancer is doing.  Enjoy all the benefits of dance!!!
