We are proud to announce that Annika Veatch and Avery Hutchinson are our October Students of the Month! Way to go girls! So proud of how each of you are starting the dance year.
Annika Veatch is is a 5 year old kindergartener at Irving Elementary School. She is currently taking Ballet, Tap, and Tumbling. When asked why she chooses to dance, she said because I get to tap. Sounds like she may have a favorite style. Her nominating teacher had this to say about Annika, "she has determination, resilience, and grit. She takes tap, ballet, and tumbling all back to back each week with a smile on her face and an attiude that is so positive. It's obvious that she has a love for performance and a will to learn, and she's kind to everyone in class! Her gobbies are coloring and painting. Annika's future plans are to be a stay at home mom. She lives with her Mom and Dad, and brothers Ben & Theodore. She has a pet dog, Jasmine.
Avery Hutchinson is a 15 year old Freshman at Winfield HIgh School. She is currently taking Contemporary, Jazz, Modern Lyrical, and is on the Funk team. She chooses to dance because she likes the environment and the people she gets to be around during classes. Her hobbies include being outside, (my kind of girl), cheerleading, playing with her dogs, well....only one of her dogs, Tucker. Poor Otis..... Avery's future plans include studying Sports Medicine or Criminology. She lives with her Mom and Dad, little brother Lane, and Tucker and Otis (dogs). Her nominating teacher had this to say about her... Avery always has a smile on her face and seems so happy to be at the studio. As a teacher, it makes my day when the students have such a great attitude. She pushes herself to figure things out and to increase her skills. She is becoming a quiet leader in her classes and many of her classmates look up to her!
We are so proud of both of these girls! Please congratulate them next time you see them!
