Getting to Know You: Miss Susanne!
Written by Joe Naftal on October 17, 2017

Today we are featuring Miss Susanne from our office staff  in our latest edition of “Getting to Know You” for our 2017-2018 dance year!  The “Getting to Know You” series helps us get to know each of the Dance Connection teachers and staff we get to see at the studio every week and learn a little bit more about them.

 

In her free time, Miss Susanne loves to read.

Miss Susanne and her family have one pet, a 16 year old cat named Abby.

Miss Susanne danced since she was two years old until she was seventeen years old, studying Ballet, Pointe, Tap, and Jazz.

The most challenging thing Miss Susanne ever learned was how to raise three children.  Her two daughters dance at Dance Connection. Jillian is on our competition team and her sister, “Miss Ally”, is on our competition team and is a student helper in the teacher training program.

What Miss Susanne likes best about working at Dance Connection is “how you feel like you are a part of the family”.

Miss Susanne’s Favorites:

Movie: Disney’s Meet the Robinsons
TV Show: Big Bang Theory
Inspirational Quote: “Find a way, not an excuse”
Comfort Food: Pasta
Favorite Time of Year at Dance Connection: Halloween, “because of the way the studio gets so elaborate with the decorations and festivities”

The best advice that Miss Susanne has for our DC students is to “have fun and enjoy your opportunity to dance!”
