The Chamber of Commerce will hold a “Ribbon-cutting” ceremony at **Harbor Village** to celebrate the opening of the new **Shely Pack Dancers** studio. J.P. Viernes, recently starring as **Billy Elliot** in San Francisco and a member of the **Shely Pack Dancers**, will perform the actual cutting. The event starts at 5:00 PM and continues to 6:30. The actual ribbon-cutting will be at 5:45 PM. After a seventeen year association with the Half Moon Bay Parks & Recreation Department, the **Shely Pack Dancers** have moved into their own studio space at **Harbor Village** in picturesque Princeton-by-the Sea. The studio was named one of the top fifty studio’s in the country by **Dance Spirit Magazine** and draws students to the San Mateo Coast from as far as Fremont, San Jose, and Livermore. Two students with the studio have won the **Beach Blanket Babylon** Scholarship for the Arts $10,000 prize for their dancing abilities.

In addition to ballet, tap, modern, and jazz for the younger students…the studio will begin to offer adult classes in Salsa, Swing, Tap, and Ballet this Fall. More details at http://www.shelypackdancers.com
