What It Means To Be A Parent At IMD

When you join our studio, you’re not just signing your child up for dance classes—you’re joining a community. A place where your child can grow and shine, and where you, as a parent, are welcomed, valued, and encouraged to be part of the journey.

At IMD, we believe that performance is more than just learning choreography. It’s a chance for our dancers to build confidence, express themselves, and feel proud of what they’ve accomplished. But just as importantly, it’s a chance for you to witness that growth. Throughout the year, you’ll have opportunities to see firsthand how your dancer is progressing. From their first plié to the final bow at recital, you’ll be there for it all—and we promise, your heart will burst with pride.

But our commitment to family goes far beyond the stage. We’re always creating opportunities for parents to connect, relax, and celebrate. Here are just a few of the events we look forward to each year:

✨ Parent’s Night Out

Drop your dancer off at the studio for a cozy evening of movies and snacks, while you enjoy a well-deserved break. Go on a date night, run errands in peace, or just unwind. Siblings are welcome too—it’s our little gift to you.

🎅 Meet & Greet with Santa

Say goodbye to mall lineups and awkward photos! Join us in the studio for a magical holiday party. Kids can write letters to Santa at our North Pole Station, enjoy sweet treats, and snap adorable photos with the big guy himself. This is a ticketed event with limited spots, so don’t miss out!

☕ Studio Socials

We love bringing parents together! Whether it's a casual coffee morning or an evening mix-and-mingle, our studio socials are a great way to get to know other families in the IMD community. You never know—your dancer might make a lifelong friend here, and so might you.

Giving Back, Together

Community involvement is a huge part of who we are. Each year, we come together to support meaningful causes and local events:

• 🎁 Holiday Food & Toy Drives – Help us spread joy to families in need during the festive season.

• 🎉 Hyack Festival & Shine Bright New West – Catch our dancers performing in these exciting local celebrations, and come cheer them on!

• ❤️ Other Community Events – From parades to pop-ups, we’re always finding new ways to be present and give back.

Being a parent at IMD means more than just watching your child dance—it means being part of something special. It means shared experiences, new friendships, proud tears in the audience, and moments that turn into memories. We’re so grateful to have you here with us.

Welcome to the IMD family. We can’t wait to grow with you.
