Congratulations Dance Alive! Dance Studio Featured Dancer of The Week Holly Myer!!
Holly works so hard and always puts forth all her effort. She kept so much technique over the summer this past year and has carried over to her classes this season.

We asked Holly some questions as well. Here is what she had to say:
What do you love about dance?
- I love seeing improvements in my dancing throughout the year and getting to showcase it at recital with my friends!

What is your favorite thing to do in dance class?
- My favorite thing to do in class is work on the dance because it's always fun to learn a new part of it every week and watch it all come together.

Is there anything special or that you love about your teachers?
- My teachers are always so nice and supportive. When I started ballet last year I felt behind at first, but Ms.Alisha was patient and helpful and I became a lot more confident in it!

We also asked Holly's Mom some questions as well:

How has dance influenced Holly?
- Holly has become more strong, confident, and empowered.

How have the teachers (students, faculty, etc.) at Dance Alive! inspired Holly in her daily life?
- Her teachers have inspired her to see her potential.

We love having Holly in classes and at the studio. Holly has an amazing positive attitude while in classes no matter how difficult something may be. Holly also has this willingness to always try new things. These attributes are a shining light in our classes and for her future.
We are so proud of you Holly!

Congratulations Dance Alive! Dance Studio Featured Dancer of The Week Makayla Sokolsky!

Makayla has soared this year with her drive, technique, and overall connection with dance. She always asks fantastic questions, is very observant in class, and applies her corrections if not immediately, she continues until she does get it.

We asked Makayla some questions about dancing at Dance Alive!

What do you love about dance?
- One thing I love about dance is the confidence it gives me! When I first started dancing when I was little, I was extremely shy and found it difficult to socialize with others and express myself. However, the personality that I developed while performing on stage for the first time was miraculous! The smiles, the movements, the sassiness I didn't know I had unleashed within me, and this would be the moment that I realized this was something I wanted to continue! As time went on, my confidence not only just appeared on stage, but it appeared in my everyday life as well! I am now extremely social and find it easy to talk with others, being able to express myself in ways I never imagined! My love for dance gets stronger and stranger as time goes on, and if I could I would dance for a lifetime!

What is your favorite thing to do in dance class?
- I love learning combos and turning! Combinations allow me to know what I have to work on individually while giving me confidence as I perform! Knowing I can go at my own pace allows me to have a very positive mindset while dancing. Turning itself is an extremely unique feeling, it feels so pretty and elegant when you do it right and it can really tell a beautiful story in choreography.

Is there anything special or that you love about your teachers?
- One thing I love about my teachers is the way they all show so much care about every single one of their dancers. Whether it's just a funny conversation or specific dance critiques, all of my teachers have made the studio a very welcoming space. Asking questions is very easy, and they truly do give amazing corrections that make me a better dancer every class I enter, And I love that I can go to them for advice when needed!

We also asked Malynda some questions as well:

How has dance influenced Makayla?
- It has allowed her to understand structure and self discipline. It has provided a way to set realistic goals for her to strive for and obtain.

How have the teachers (students,faculty,etc.) at Dance Alive! inspired Makayla in her daily life?
- They taught her that family isn't who you live with. The bonds of friendship she has made there will last a lifetime, and the instructors taught her that perfection isn't a destination... It is a never ending journey and no matter if you fall 7 times just remember to get up 8.

Makayla is always respectful in class. She is always one of the first dancers to speak up if she needs help and she is also the first to offer help if she can.

We are so proud of your growth in dance and in your confidence Makayla!

Congratulations again Dance Alive! Dance Studio Featured Dancer of The Week Makayla Sokolsky!!
