Debra Collier’s School of Dance is kicking off a new season of dance with an open house on Wednesday, August 6, from 5 to 7 p.m. Families can enjoy free classes, performances by Class Act Dance Troupe, and visit vendors from other local, family-friendly businesses.

Representatives from companies such as Baker Youth Club, thirty-one, Mudlove Pottery, On The Grow, The Crazy-Day Gourmet, Younique Products, and Tg’s Frozen Yogurt will be available.

“We have been a part of Warsaw for more than 35 years” explains studio owner, Deb Collier. “We are invested in our community and wanted an event that would bring together other local businesses that share the same commitment.”

Children ages three to five can enjoy free ballet classes with the studio’s enchanted princess and Intro to Dance classes will be available for ages six and up. Kosciusko Literacy Services will be giving away free children’s books and The Silver Tongue will have their food truck set up at the event.

Face painting and drawings for prizes from Indiana Antique Company, Tastefully Simple, Family Video, American Table, the dance school and more will be available. The Kosciusko County Sherriff’s Department will also be onsite distributing Child Identification Kits.
