Welcome to Turning Pointe Dance Center’s 31st Annual Recital: “Next Level”

Dear Parents, Families, and Friends,
It is with immense pride and gratitude that we present our 31st Annual Recital, “Next Level.” This year has been one of rejuvenation and growth, marked by an atmosphere of positivity, camaraderie, enthusiasm, and electric energy at the studio. Our students are thrilled to share with you the innovative routines crafted by our dedicated TPDC staff and guest choreographers.

I am deeply proud of the hard work, dedication, and commitment demonstrated by all our dancers throughout the year. Their passion and perseverance are evident in every class and performance.

A special congratulations to our competition team, who showcased exceptional skill and artistry at four regional competitions this spring. Many of our soloists and duets received recognition for their outstanding performances, and our choreographers were honored for their creative excellence and artistry. Turning Pointe was also awarded the prestigious ADCC Studio of Excellence Award twice and the People’s Choice Award. Our team is now preparing for the upcoming national competition this summer, and we wish them continued success.

We are also excited to announce the launch of “All Abilities,” a special needs dance program founded by our esteemed alumna, Dr. Valerie Sobol. This program offers four age divisions and pairs our team dancers with students with special needs, fostering mentorship and inclusion under Dr. Sobol’s guidance. The experience has been enriching for all involved, and we invite you to learn more on our website.
Lastly, I extend my heartfelt thanks to all our parents for your unwavering support and cooperation throughout the season. Your dedication is invaluable.
Now, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show as we take dance to the “Next Level.”

Warm regards,
Julie Otani
Owner & Artistic Director
