Dear SDC families,

This past dance season has been one for the history books and we wanted to take a moment to express our gratitude to YOU, for believing in the transformative power of dance. Through thick and thin—through the unpredictable nature of living through a pandemic—you have allowed your child to dance; to soak up the benefits of movement, self-expression, teamwork, and social-emotional growth.

When so many parts of your child’s life were inconsistent, you kept this door open for them. You were willing to take the necessary steps to make dance possible, whether it was changing up your schedule, wearing masks, waiting in your car, or going virtual. We know these are not small sacrifices.

Whether we see your dancer once a week or for several hours, know that teaching them is the best part of our day. Dance teaching is a joyous profession and our students bring us so much joy! We hope you see the same spark in your child that we do. 🙂

So thank you, families, for your belief in your kids and in us—for understanding the benefits of dance and seeing the advantages in the whole health of your child. Thank you for making it possible for us to fulfill our mission even during a pandemic. We appreciate you more than you know!

– Ms. Julie
