Dear Parents, Family, and Friends,
Welcome to our 30th Anniversary Dance Recital EPIC!
Today, we gather not only to celebrate three decades of passion, dedication, and artistry but also to commemorate the countless memories and milestones that have shaped this journey. I am filled with immense pride and joy!
As our students take to the stage today, each performance is a testament to the unwavering commitment of all our dancers, choreographers, instructors, and supporters. Through every pirouette, every leap, and every powerful and graceful movement, we share our love for dance and the joy it brings to our lives.
Reflecting on the past 30 yeas fills me with gratitude for the opportunities, challenges, and growth that have defined our dance community. From the humble beginnings to the vibrant dance family we’ve become, our bond remains stronger than ever.
Today, let us not only celebrate the talent displayed on this stage but also the friendships, camaraderie, and memories that have enriched our lives. Here’s to the next 30 years of inspiration, creativity, and timeless beauty of dance.
I also want to give special recognition to our team dancers on a stellar regionals’ competition season. Your skill, precision and artistry were nothing short of spectacular. I am incredibly proud of your achievements. TPDC was awarded the Studio of Excellence Award from ADCC. Mr. Jude and Miss Alexa received choreography awards. We are looking forward to Turn It Up Nationals competition at the end of the month.
May today’s performance be a testament to the legacy we have built over three decades and a beacon of inspiration for generations yet to come. Thank you for being a part of this EPIC journey.
Enjoy the show!
Kind regards,
Julie Otani
