Put on your dancing shoes!

October 2012:  Once again, the talented Stephanie Clay is offering a special dance class weekly, on Sundays from 4:00-4:45 PM at the Fox Valley Playhouse for 1st through 4th graders. This class will meet each week in preparation of performing at the Youth Summit on November 17th where the GiGi’s dance troope will show off their routine. A portion of the proceeds from this event will benefit GiGi’s Playhouse Fox Valley. What a great opportunity to raise awareness and share the love!
