“I am a Dance Enthusiasm alumni. I started here when I was 7 years old (20 years ago!) and joined the competitive dance team a year later. At the time I had no idea what kind of impact this would have on my life, but looking back I can say that I probably wouldn’t be where I am today. Dance Enthusiasm taught me determination, endurance, hard work, and most importantly enthusiasm for life. I danced here 5-6 days a week from elementary school to high school, alongside girls that I still call my best friends. Our parents are close friends and still get together for family events. We traveled all over the country together, and created memories that will last a lifetime. I could go on and on about the awards that we won, but it’s so much more than that. DE creates an environment of high expectations for students, and because of that I have high expectations for myself in my life.
Dance Enthusiasm instills qualities in their dancers, that have allowed both my friends and me to become successful in life. I have such fond memories of growing up here.. I miss it everyday!! Thank you Tina and Mary for having such a positive impact on all of our lives!! We can’t thank you enough!”
