Congratulations to our 2026-2027 Opal Company Members and Opal Apprentices! These dancers are part of an Intensive program with class requirements of Ballet, Contemporary, Jazz, and weekly Opal Rehearsal classes. Many of them also take additional styles such as Pointe, Hip Hop, Tap, Acro, POMS, and Irish!! Dancers must audition, complete applications & agreements, and set examples as academic & character role models while sharing their passion for the performing arts with our community. Several of the following dancers are also members of our Junior & Secondary chapters of the National Honor Society for Dance Arts. Keep an eye out for them at community events throughout the year, along with our Diamond & Pearl Company Members!

Congratulations Payton!!

Meet Payton Leroy, winner of the Plein Air Competition for her beautiful painting of the Tidewater Inn! 🎨✨ Payton’s winning piece will be on display at the Tidewater Inn throughout the month of September. Stop by to see it in person and learn more about the talented artist behind the painting below!

---------

Payton LeRoy is a two-time “Next Generation” winner at Easton’s prestigious Plein Air competition, the nation’s largest outdoor art festival. Her painting “Tidewater Inn” is this year’s winner; her “Tiger in the Woods” acrylic was the first-place pick in 2023.

Her love for art began at a young age to express herself when she experienced speech difficulties and to keep calm when she felt frustrated. Her natural ability as an artist was encouraged by her parents, Susan and Scott, as well as her many art teachers both in public school and at the Academy of Art Museum in Easton, and most recently Artipre in Ellicott City.

In addition to being an artist, Payton is a multi-disciplinary dancer and varsity tennis player—she won the 2A East Regional Championship in Spring 2026 and then medaled 3rd place for Girls Singles at the Maryland State Tennis Championships. A junior in high school, she hopes to major in Biomedical Engineering and Immunology with a minor in Art at college. A member of the Torch and Laurel Honor Society, she has been chosen twice to attend the Congress of Future Medical Leaders as a delegate at UMASS/Lowell.

A Big Welcome to our new Tap Instructor, Miss Marrissa!! Miss Marrissa began dancing as a child at Robin's School of Dance in Suddlersville and continued her dance education at TTP. Since graduating high school, Miss Marrissa has continued her education at Chesapeake College and works at PRS Guitars, while continuing dance classes at TTP. You may have also seen her as a substitute teacher here at To the Pointe. She recently completed her Tap Roots certification program and is excited to start the year! With a history of music/marching band experience and dance, tap proves to be one of her favorite dance styles for it's musicality and fun, upbeat rhythms. Congratulations Miss Marrissa!!

We are proud to instill a lifelong love for dance & the Performing Arts. With over half of our faculty being 'homegrown' (all dancers who started with Ms. Bri at a very young age and went on to pursue dance, arts, childcare, healthcare, and education), and including two sets of siblings plus a mom/daughter aunt/neice, our TTP family & studio culture is strong. 💪🏻 I wonder which little dancer(s) may be our next assistants & teachers one day?? (P.S. Our little dancer in this video is a 2nd generation TTP dancer. 💜🖤)
