I witness my staff pulling together to create productions and train dancers. They communicate about dancers's needs, and collaborate on choreography and best teaching practices. They help each other cover classes so that family time and contract work, and even the occasional illness are possible for each other. They are a truly passionate and caring bunch of people who demonstrate excellence and commitment everyday. I could not be more proud of the example they set for our students.
My heart is also terribly warm with the outpouring of support we have received for our Nutcracker Kickstarter campaign! The team spirit that went into reaching our funding goal was exciting and inspiring! Friends, Family, Alumni and even strangers showed up to help in whatever denomination they could. Our backdrop is reserved! Rehearsals are under way. Costume are chosen. Soloists are looking beautiful thanks to their hard work in class with Miss Diane Gudat, our founder and Ballet Mistress. Everyone is getting excited!
Our campaign doesn't actually end until 11pm Monday, November 4th, so you can still add to our fund! Exceeding our funding goal will add to our stage scenery and costume budget, we have a long wish list!
I feel blessed to be part of, and carry on a tradition at The Dance Company that has reached and impacted so many through the years. Thank you donors for supporting our vision. You have helped make some amazing things happen for some great dancing kids. Not just with this fundraiser, but with every pizza, flower, ticket or tutu you have been part of! I cannot wait for you to enjoy the show, and/or your gifts! I am amazed at what our dancer's can accomplish, all while attending school, and many learning Ensemble Repertoire and competition solos also, at the same time. Truly a team effort to coordinate within their lives and families!
More Teamwork at Work!
Keep it up Folks! You Rock! And not like the Christmas lump of coal kind of rock. But Rockstar Rock.
