A message from Alicia Dobson, Owner & Director of Desert Edge Dance Company.
Itโs been a little quiet around here, with a bit of a โthey donโt know that we know they know we knowโ situation happening behind the scenes.
After 35 years of teaching dance and 24 years of studio ownership, I made the decision to end my time as a studio owner. McKenzie Jones, one of Desert Edge Dance Companyโs teachers, is beginning a new chapter with Edge Dance as Desert Edge Dance Company ends its chapter under my ownership.
While the name and ownership are changing, many of the staff, the admin team, and the way the studio operates will remain the same, along with many new ideas to help students continue to grow.
I am so grateful to all of the families, dancers, and staff who were part of Desert Edge Dance Company. Over those 24 years, the studio became so much more than a place to take dance classes. It was filled with growth, friendships, performances, competitions, traditions, and so many special memories that are truly priceless.
Thank you to every family who trusted me with your dancers and supported the studio throughout the years. I hope the students moving into this new chapter will always remember that dance is about so much more than leg holds and fancy tricks. It is about the way it makes us feel, the confidence it builds, the friendships it creates, and the lessons we carry with us. The difficult moments and failures often teach us the most, helping us grow stronger, more resilient, and more willing to keep trying. More than anything, I hope Desert Edge Dance helped each student grow not only as a dancer, but also in the way they approach challenges, support others, and carry themselves through life.
I wish McKenzie, Edge Dance, the staff, and all of your dancers the very best as they begin this new chapter.
