Director’s Note
Dance is a timeless and integral part of life. Whether one taps their foot to the rhythm while seated, dances
privately to a favorite song, or trains rigorously to excel, movement embodies dance and fosters joy. This
evening, you will witness joy reflected in the faces of our dancers on stage, the enthusiasm of teachers cheering
for their students, and the delight of families and friends applauding with fervor. Dance, indeed, is a precious
gift from God.
Our SPAC Students wait with great anticipation, nervous energy, and confident determination to bring
exceptional performances to the stage. They have worked very hard to bring you the best that they have. This
could only happen as students find their inner passion and create a strong work ethic with a desire to learn.
Their dedication and hard work manifest through their love and commitment to learning.
Thank You, Teachers. Our educators are deeply devoted to dance, consistently striving to impart their knowledge
and love for the arts. Students receive motivating classes, encouragement, daily support, and constructive
critiques. The progress and constant improvement observed in the classroom never cease to amaze us.
Thank You, Parents. We greatly appreciate your unwavering commitment to bringing your children to classes,
aiding them through challenges, and celebrating their successes.
Thank you, John. Your strength is the foundation that holds everything together. Your wisdom and guidance are
invaluable as we navigate each dance year. I love you to the moon and back.
Regarding my role, I draw inspiration from our studio family. Every day, I am committed to being the best teacher
possible. With God’s grace, I will continue to pursue further education, relish the spirit and vitality of our
students, and bring excellence in dance to SPAC.
