2018-2019 Year in Review

As we look back on this past season, we are incredibly blessed by what our studio has accomplished, participated in, and been able to offer the students at Dance4Him. As with anything, we get out of something what we put into it, and we are thankful for the opportunities afforded to the dancers this year, and each year. We strive for excellence, putting many tools in the hands of our dancers, as well as a Game Plan for SUCCESS! Here is 2018/2019 in Review! 

GUEST INSTRUCTORS:  This year we were blessed to have MANY guest instructors and Pre-Professional Classes – which started last summer with Marilee Herman, Sarah Oliver, Stepheny Alexander,  Ann Marie Bean, and Bre Griego-Shmitt From ABQ.  We continued on into the school year with Robbie Rodriquez, Tanner McMurrough, Taralah Hall,  Madelynn Cole, as well as education instructors in Physical Therapy, Conditioning, and Acting. Ann Marie came in each Tuesday for Hip Hop and Acro.

VISION BOARDS: TEAM Dancers were encouraged to create vision boards and put their own plan in place for success.

DANCER FOLDERS: TEAM Dancers were encouraged to educate themselves and keep themselves accountable to work out and stretch at home. 

CITIZENSHIP AWARD: Special recognition for community service was given by the Mayor to our TEAM and was quite an honor for Dance4Him!

PARTIES & TEAM CONNECTION: We enjoyed multiple lunches and dinners out, as well as pizza in the studio, parties at Miss Kim’s, Miss Nicole’s,  and Miss Rebecca’s houses. 

COMMUNITY OUTREACH: We were able to give back to our community in various ways throughout the year –  with performances at the Creative Culture Conference at World Harvest Center,  community performance at San Juan College in November, Miracle On Main Street performance AND we handed out goodie bags for Sycamore dancers in December, performance for the Women’s Community Christmas Gala at The Oasis Church in December, the Mother/Daughter Tea at the Sycamore Center, and offering support for Ann Marie’s Dance Academy by attending their recital.

Dance4Him TEAM girls also offered another year of free dance classes and recitals at the Sycamore Center, as well as a summer scholarship to attend Dance4Him’s summer programs.

The entire studio came together to collect items to bless people at the PATH (People Assisting the Homeless).

COMPETITIONS:  Our TEAM enjoyed much success, Top Ten Awards, special recognition & other awards at Axis Dance Competition and Streetz Dance Convention and Competition this spring. 

PRODUCTIONS:  As always, it is our joy and honor to offer our community two FREE productions each year:  The Dream (December Production) and RISE (Spring Production). It is such a blessing to see growth in each of our dancers and to be able to watch them shine! 

~AND as ALWAYS, we provide Premiere Ballet Training that equips dancers to go to “The Next Level” should they choose to. 

~Dance4Him has so much to offer as dancers move along in their training and for those that are on our TEAM. If you want MORE, it is available to you!
