Bring a Friend! I Dare You!


Wow, I've been busy! The first month of class at the studio has been great! It is serious fun being back with the dancers and it's going to be an awesome year!

The new season always feels like that new notebook you open on the first day of school.  New starts, new classes and goals, new choreography and costumes, and a renewed sense of drive and dedication from the staff and students fills the hallways.  We all want to be better than we were.  It's exciting and motivating.  I encourage you to keep that energy as we head into the long cold winter! Stay focused and disciplined!

It's going to be a fun times at TDC this week...It's Bring a Friend Week! This is a great opportunity to show that curious friend or relative what you to at dance class and let them participate with you! No prior dance experience is necessary for visitors, however their age should be appropriate for the class they will be visiting with you.
Bring and friend, and if you and your friend can come to me (Miss Stephanie) with the answer to the trivia question below, I'll have a special surprise for you both!

What is the name of the composer of The Nutcracker Suite?

Wise Words from Miss Diane

I'd like to share a post today, instead of writing my own.

Check out Miss Diane's words about appropriate choreography for children.  Diane was the founder of The Dance Company and my teacher and mentor.  She is the catalyst for so much of who I have become as a dancer and now educator, it is only appropriate that these words and thoughts would sum up so eloquently TDC's philosophy and mission when it comes to age appropriate material and why we make the choreographic and musical choices we do for our dancers.
