Sponsored by The Dance Academy

The Dance Academy (TDA) offers training for students of dance with exceptional dance training in a professional and positive environment. They believe dance should be both an educational and an inspirational experience. Each dancer is unique, and TDA aims to ensure he or she reaches their maximum potential. They offer several dance classes and programs for students of all ages. TDA’s dance classes are designed to help each child develop strong core techniques and artistic talent. They offer toddler dance, ballet, jazz, tap, hip hop, lyrical, creative dance, theater dance, and tumbling. The students at The Dance Academy range from 2 ½ to young adults. Their goal is for their dancers to have fun, develop their creative expression, and of course, get much-needed exercise. TDA’s instructors teach age-appropriate dance skills for each age level.

TDA has been offering professional dance training with a personal touch for over 30 years, instilling the love of dance to students under the creative direction of Miss Donnajean Kline and staffed by a group of highly-trained instructors. Their dance season starts in September. Please visit our website at www.thedanceacademybuckscounty.com for more information about programs and classes offered this fall.

School isn’t just for kids!
Expert Puppy Tips from Hunterdon’s Puppy Experts
  • Someone is always the teacher, and someone is always the learner. Whether you are actively training your puppy or not, she is always learning.
  • Teach your puppy the behaviors you want instead of focusing on the behaviors you don’t want. Change how you think, and you will change your puppy’s behavior.
  • Puppies do what works for them. If jumping up gets them love and attention, your puppy will keep jumping up. Behavior that is rewarded, repeats.
  • Puppies have short attention spans. Train in 5-10 minute sessions throughout the day.
  • Puppies require about 18-20 hours of sleep each day. Be sure to have scheduled nap times.
  • A tired and enriched puppy is a better-behaved puppy. Mental exercise is just as important as physical exercise. Provide your puppy with food puzzle toys to help reduce
    boredom and tire them out.
  • Teaching the behaviors you want now is easier than fixing unwanted behavior later.

Going back to work? Kids back to school? Separation anxiety can happen with your pup and is not something quickly treated. It is a process that will require time, patience, and consistency. The good news: Applying the necessary time, patience, and consistency works. Separation anxiety absolutely can be successfully treated. A future where you can leave the house without guilt and return home without worry is possible. And we’ll do everything we can to help you get there.

Special offer for Hunterdon Happening readers: Receive an additional 1-hour training session ($100 value) with the purchase of our Puppy Concierge package.

Some of this is due to hormonal changes but also due to lack of knowledge on home skin care. When you come in for a Teen Facial not only will you have an amazing facial treatment with customized products for your skin condition, but you will also receive a lesson on the right way to cleanse, tone and moisturize your skin to help alleviate the skin problems you may be experiencing. You will also receive some sample products to use at home to help with your skin routine.

Moms and Dads – now that the kids are back in school maybe you have some free time available for relaxation and stress relief at the spa.
