Congratulations
dancers!

Parents, please do not stop in the middle of the road
out in front of the dance studio to drop your child off.
We would appreciate if you'd pull off to the side of the
road. We have seen cars come around the curve
quite fast. We don't want anyone to get hurt.
Thank you!

IDC's instructors are dedicated to ensure discipline and teamwork with
true inspiration in the classroom,

and intellectually further
than they think they can go.
