KEYWORDS:
"WELCOME BACK
EVERYONE", old students, new students, parents and teachers. We are
ready to start a new year of dance fun, and I hope you are raring to go. So
far, everything is moving along nicely, but a little slow in enrollment.
However, October seems to be the month old students are returning to class.
This will be an
exciting year, because we plan to have a "reunion" recital, where we
look forward to all of you and many former students return for our banquet and
recital. Also, after this year, Ms. Wilda will be leaving to go to Atlanta , Georgia
There will be much
information regarding this as the year moves forward.
I will start a three
to five year transition toward finding a good Artistic Director to run my studio
so that all the students will be able to continue to get good instruction as
they progress. As a part of developing toward strengthening community and
studio relationships, we will begin to partner with the Creative Movements
Dance Studio in various workshops, classes and activities. Teachers from both
schools will work together on various projects. Ms. DeShonte Cobin is the Artistic
Director of the Creative Movements studio, and a former dance student of mine,
and she is an excellent instructor, with a great passion for dance. She also
has competitive dance classes who win
dance trophies, which means she is very knowledgeable in the field of dance and
continues to learn any new dance trends. This is where my students will go if I
can not find a good director who is dedicated and has a passion for dance to
run this school. Our first effort together will be a tap workshop which will be
held here at our studio on Sunday, November 22, 2015, and will be only for the
Secondary II, Intermediates and advanced students of both studios. I ask for
your complete support as we move forward in all our partnering endeavors.
I hope everyone has a
fun dance year, and look forward to all the exciting things coming up in the
future. AGAIN, WELCOME TO YOU ALL!
June Neal Key

Director

NEW

Daijah Moore, one of
our dance students, is working as acrobatic instructor assistant this year. We
all want to congratulate her and wish her well as she works toward learning the
art of teaching. The students like her and she seems to enjoy working with
them. She is in a local college now, but will be going away to school next
year. Welcome, Daijah!
FYI
We are trying to
located as many former students as we can to include on our alumni mailing list
