We just wanted to say that the Summer Intensive show was wonderful! Congratulations! You and your guest artists have done such an amazing job with the dancers. The kids always amaze me with their talent and hard work. The choreography that you and the guests put together is always so inspiring to watch.

I see dance being used as communication between body and soul, to express what is to deep to find for words.

I Dance

by Abby Hardin

Music soars, twists and turns

dives beneath my skin

Wills my muscles to move

without control, music guides me

one movement gliding into the next time flows by

nothing else matters

my heart beats to the rythem

everything in sync

Music, movement, and art combine

I dance.
