GUIDING LIGHTS – MKS Assistant & Apprentice Program
2024-25 GUIDING LIGHTS INFO
We are looking for our MKS talented dancers who are also seen as exceptional role models at the studio. We are excited to announce a new MKS Assistant and Apprenticeship Program, GUIDING LIGHTS!
As you may know, we have many instructors on staff who are MKS Alumni, and we are proud of their accomplishments now in their teaching positions. Because we want to begin fostering that leadership and training in our community at an even earlier age, we have been praying about an assistant program for the last few years. God is now opening those doors, and YOU are invited!
