Bring a Friend week was so much fun last month. We had more friends come than ever and hosting your people!

Word of the Month: Intention
Learning to bring more intention to what we are doing feels like a little bit of magic. Making my bed feels like a chore, but making my bed with intention feels like a gift to a future version of me.
Doing a plie without a thought is just bending your knees, but with intention plie becomes an art unto itself.
I’d love to hear how you’re imbuing your day with more intetion.
Student of the Month
Our Student of the month is… Soraya Hajarian!
Miss Julie says…
Soraya actively engages in all of her classes. She listens closely to corrections and spends time actively working on them. She is prepared and focused during class time and has been an absolute joy at dance!
Miss Blakelee says….
You are doing a great job being a returning member of the jr elite team by being a leader and showing new members how to take class and listen to teachers. I especially love that I can use you to show girls what to do in warm up because the warm up we do is brand new the most of them but you are an example of what to do next. Keep it up!
Miss Ali says….
I don’t get to teach Soraya this year, but I have loved being her teacher throughout the years. Soraya is a kind student who is always on task. She doesn’t get down on herself when she is facing a challenge and that is amazing! I am so grateful to have her at Dance Concepts with us!!
Miss Annalise says….
Every time she is in my class she always asks the best questions and is always listening to other people questions. I find her practicing the corrections I give other students and that shows me that she’s a great student and is always wanting to learn and be better.
