Good things take time.
Last weekend was our recital weekend. A grand finale for our 15th season of dancing together.
I hope all of our dancers and families are still feeling the excitement from this weekend. Recital may seem like a one day event, but the planning started last summer and involved thousands of behind the scenes decisions and ideas.
But the best part of it is that we get to create a magical experience for our dancers and their families. It’s truly a culmination of a year of hard work for ALL involved. The dancers. The LDC team. The families. It’s seriously a group effort and for that we are grateful.
I’ve always said that 99% of our students probably won’t dance after high school, IF they even make it that far. But what they learn and gain from their time dancing WILL last them a lifetime. Following their passion. Taking a chance. Gaining confidence and friendships. Overcoming challenges. That is why we dance.
Whether you dance with us for 15 years or one summer. Whether you take one 30 minute class a week or spend more time at the studio than your own home. You all matter. You are all important. And we hope you all know that and feel that when you walk through our doors at LDC and did this weekend.
During our pre recital staff meeting I told the LDC team to “make this weekend magical”. I can say, I sure felt it was and based on the sweet emails and messages I have read and seen, it looks like many of you did as well.
From the “babies” to the seniors. The boys to our adults. And everyone in between, well done this weekend! Rest up, reflect on how far you’ve come and get ready…as next season is Miss Deanna’s 15th anniversary at LDC, so you know it’s going to be a fun one!
