It’s the last weekend before recital & we’ve got 3 more Seniors to celebrate! So we are kicking this weekend off with Senior Saturday!!! Today we are celebrating the always entertaining,
Anna joined our D.O.T team as a hip hopper & by Senior year was competing in every style! From hip hop to tap & everything in between, this girl is a Rockstar! But where this actor in training really shines, is Musical Theatre! 🎭 So it’s no shock that after graduation she will be attending Webster University to major in music education with a choral emphasis. 🎤
Anna says her favorite classes are hiphop, pointe, & musical theater. All time favorite dance was Miss Tia & Jessica’s “That Dance” hiphop line & this years senior contemporary “Everlasting Sigh” by the one and only Marcus Johnson. 💜 She says her favorite studio memory was being the last senior pulling the all nighter at the lock in last year, playing board games all night with the teachers! 😄
From Anna:
“Dance is an incredibly special thing. It provides a space where you can be vulnerable and open while being surrounded by others who understand you. A shared experience like this is very hard to come by outside of a studio, so embrace it while you can. Get into as many classes as possible, try every style, and take every correction to heart. We also need to remember to respect our teachers. They were once students, too—students who loved dance so much that they decided to come back to the studio and share that love and passion with you. So clap at the end of every class, ask questions, pay attention when you’re being instructed, and bring your all every day. Someday you’ll be wishing for those days back—even the ones where the last thing you wanted to do was go full out, or do that conditioning or that drill. The years will fly past you if you let them, so stay in the moment and remember why you love to dance.” I think that really says it all. 🥲
It has been a pleasure having Anna at the studio & we couldn’t be more proud of her for giving it her all. I think it’s safe to say we will probably be seeing this girl in lights for years to come! Congrats, Anna! Today we celebrate you! 💜 🎉 👩🏻🎓
