Congratulations to Ms. Daria. She has opened her own Yoga studio in Gladwyne called The Yoga Spot. She won’t be returning to Contempra this year due to this, but we wish her the best in her new endeavor!! I’m sure we will be seeing her around!
Our “LIVE IT UP” 2022 Dance Recital was a huge success Saturday June 4th. Over 600 people attended. The dancers were absolutely amazing and blew the audience away! My faculty and I were so impressed and just loved seeing smiling dancers on stage. It’s been 3 years since we had our last recital at Valley Forge Middle School. It was nice to be back.
