Remembering Carol this Thank a Dance Teacher Day! Thankful for the inspiration, discipline, kindness, and love she shared with every dancer she taught. We all learned about dance, movement, math, grammar…but also many life lessons along the way. We often catch ourselves saying things we learned from her. We miss her so much and her influence continues and shapes what we do as teachers here at CTDS 🩵 forever grateful and forever dancing! 🩰

OUR LAST SENIOR ✨SPOTLIGHT✨ With only two and half weeks until recital we would like to give a shoutout to our very own Camryn Damge. Camryn is going to the University of Iowa to study Nursing. She has been dancing for 15 years and her favorite style of dance is contemporary. Something she loves to do in the summer when she has free time is to hang out with her friends! Her favorite memory from dance was when she played the game spoons with ballet shoes before rehearsal! We wish Camryn nothing but the best at IOWA🐥

OUR FIRST SENIOR ✨SPOTLIGHT✨ Evelyn is going to the University of Missouri to study Sports Nutrition. She has been dancing for 15 years and her favorite style of dance is contemporary. Something she loves to do in the summer when she has free time is to go hiking! Her favorite memory from dance has been when her class got to all try to get the intro clap at the beginning of our videos at the same time. We wish Evelyn nothing but the best at MIZZOU 🐯
