December is one of my favorite months of the year! Our theme this month is Sugarplums and Dancing Dreams. As I unpack all my holiday decorations, I am taken back by all the ballerina ornaments I have received over the years from my students. It reminds me of all the little ones that have danced their way into my heart. The little girl that was so shy but dance brought her out of her shell, the little boy that loved everything about dance, and the tiny one that was a star from the time they entered the class for the first time.
All I ever wanted to do was dance! I was not interested in playing sports or an instrument. Dance was my dream, my love, my everything! I am honored that I get to instill my love of dance to the children of yesterday, today and tomorrow. Dance taught me so much over the years and even to this day it is still teaching me about myself. Dance teaches us to be a team player, etiquette, musicality, grace, poise, and the beauty of an undying art form. I know that here at Studio Go, we are not only teaching our students about dance but we are instilling in our students to be great people of this world. To be kind, love your neighbor and to understand you don’t always get everything you want. My big phrase I use in classes is, “You get what you get and you don’t get upset!” My students understand that and know that in class we don’t get the color beanbag or scarf that we always want. I like to teach them to understand that all colors are beautiful and maybe next time they will get the exact color their heart desires. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, my little ones!
If you’re looking for an experience to take your dancer to this holiday season, treat them to the see The Nutcracker. It’s a holiday tradition and one we believe they will love. It’s amazing to sit and watch their eyes sparkle as they see those dancers twirl and leap across the stage!
From all of us at Studio Go, we wish you a very Happy Holiday. We can’t wait to see all of our dancers after the holidays as we begin to gear up for our upcoming recital season.
Dancingly Yours,
Ms. Robyn
