What We’re Thankful For
Written by Joe Naftal on November 30, 2017

November is definitely the month for giving thanks!  At Dance Connection, we are thankful for a lot of things.  We are thankful for all of our students.  We are thankful our families’ your support and your trust with your children’s education.  We are thankful for our amazing faculty and staff who go above and beyond every single day.  And we are thankful for the performing arts and for the opportunity to do what we love every day and to pass on that passion to future generations of performers and citizen-artists.

 

This past month we ran a Thanksgiving coloring contest at the studio asking our students why they are grateful for dance.  We are amazed by all of the creative drawings and the wonderful reasons you all are thankful for dance in your lives.  Check out all of the incredible entries below!

 

We are happy to announce that Janette Grimaldi is the winner of our coloring contest!  She won a $35 dance wear gift card.  Our two runners up are Bellavanni Frederico and Paige Mathers.  They will receive a free snack coupon. Congratulations!
