Tomorrow we open our Winter Session with a huge hole in our hearts. My mother passed away on Jan. 4th after a hell of a fight with cancer. She has been a part of The Dance since it was Kari’s Dance Factory 1984. She is the ultimate dance mom- sewing costumes, wrangling back stage and working the desk until there was no more desk. In our mobile days you have seen her presence less, that is until the costumes arrived. One of my young dancers has asked” Who is going to do our costumes, now?” This recital season I will need more support to get us through. We will honor our Mrs. Annie, our Gram to all- through dance with our heart and soul. It will be rocky, I know, but it’s time to start classes. Recital is either the first or 2nd week of May, confirmation coming soon.
