Celebrating 30 Years of Dance. Today I would like to recognize Breeze Stec who started studying dance with me at age 4. Yesterday was her Birthday. Ever since I can remember Breeze has always made dance a priority in her life. As a a child she used to bring her dance notebook to class and write down the all the choreography and the counts so she could master her pieces !! She always listened to my commentary and wanted to excel at dance. Last year she was one of our leads as we danced to "The Greatest Showman". Accompanying Breeze in these pictures is Vince Siciliano who did a great job dancing the role of The Greatest Showman. Breeze serves as my Assistant in the Children and Junior Level 1 Ballet and Jazz classes. I want to Thank her for all the time, energy and patience she has put into helping me with my classes. I am lucky to have such nurturing teachers and Assistants at my studio !! Shannon Joy and Sarah Elizabeth be looking for your posts soon !! Of Course, Katie Kurdziel is Amazing too !!
Celebrating 30 Years of Dance Recitals. Recognizing Katie !!

Celebrating 30 Years of Dance at Ruth's Dance and Fitness Co. LLC. Tonight I would like to recognize Katie Kurdziel. Katie started taking Ballet and Jazz classes with me at age10. Ever since I can remember, Katie was always excited and motivated the moment she set foot in the studio. She worked hard to become the Best that she could be. Katie truly was and still is enlightened by dance !! She always listened to my feedback in class and then practiced to achieve Excellence !! As Katie became a Senior in High School, she clearly decided she wanted to make Dance her career. The last four years she attended YSU for Dance Management and she just recently graduated. As she attended YSU, she continued to teach at my studio, and two years ago she became my Assistant. Words can not express how much I appreciate Katie !! When we were contacted in 2018 to become the host studio for the Moscow Ballet's "Great Russian Nutcracker", Katie taught several pieces. She continues to teach Tap, Jazz and Ballet at my studio currently and I am so proud of her work ethic and who she has become !! Thank You Katie for your commitment to my dance studio and for helping me the last two years pull off some really hard recitals !! You have a big heart and I will always treasure the time we have spent working together !!

Reflecting on 3 years ago when Natalie Freed and Angel Febres and McCallen Warrick and Jacob T Henry danced as leads in our show "The Mystery of The Shoes", based off of "The 12 Dancing Princesses". It's hard to believe I have had the studio for 30 years. Congrats Natalie and Angel and McCallen and Jacob on all the time you spent taking class at the studio with me !!
