For those of us involved with the Mainstage Production of “Newsies,” the month of December is a time to unwind and spend time with family over the holidays, with the busy-ness of classes and rehearsals taking a pause. But as much as the break is necessary, we find ourselves missing the activity! Classes begin again in January and the halls of AWIP will once again be filled with the sounds of singing, toes tapping, and joy abounding as students participate in various classes in the arts.

Many of our classes are full or almost full! Check out the options we have for ages 4-18 this semester…
Beginning in January:
- Acro for ages 8-12
- Classical Ballet for ages 7-12

As always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us!
We wish you the very best this holiday season, and will see you soon.
Cheers,
Jennifer Roca, Director, for all of us here at AWIP
