May Footnotes


Our 2013 competition season is over! There is both a sigh of relief and a twinge of sadness as the season closes.

Our students experience the joy of performing, the excitement of being with new and old friends,  the endless lineup of  contemporary, jazz and musical theater dances, the tension of the awards ceremonies and the happy exhaustion, trophies, medals and pins in hand as the day ends.

Our Teachers experience the backstage rush as students arrive and warm up,  the tension that grips you as  your dancers take the stage, the hopefulness that leaves you breathless as awards are announced and the fatigue that knocks you out at the end of the day.

Our Dance moms experience the nervousness as they prepare costumes, shoes, pins, and headpieces the night before,  the dread of being late because the competition is an hour and a half early, the pride that swells as their children complete their pieces with a smile, the deep yearning that their children get the highest overall award and the complete sense of relief and joy at her successes as the competition closes.

We count this season as a huge success, collectively and individually. Congratulations on the achievements of our students; you have made parents, teachers and most importantly yourselves proud! We love our Dance Co. Dancers!
