Steven was polite and very helpful at the Secret
Pal party. He assisted
with trash collection. All of the Team Moms were very complimentary of
all of his help. Thank you Steven.
Emily has been a leader and role model to all of the dancers in Flintstones. Her
enthusiasm, work ethic and determination is amazing. At Starquest,
Miss Emily competed her solo and won Top Junior Soloist while suffering and
in severe pain. She had surgery the next day and was back dancing
two weeks after that. She is fabulous.
Brittany is always helpful and assists the younger dancers whenever possible.
She was a tremendous help at Primetime. During the Grand Finals Dance
Offs she stayed backstage to assist with all of the dancers who
had quick changes. We won three of the four divisions and Brittany
helped make sure everyone made it on stage on time!

Flintstones team. She helps all of the younger dancers and is always a
great example to everyone on her team.

kind and caring. At the Revolve Tour Vanessa made sure that all of the

became friends by the end of the weekend. She did a fantastic
job making sure everyone was included in all of the fun and craziness.

Kym was amazingly polite and kind when a mom from another studio was trying to be grouchy at competition. Kym was overly gracious and made it virtually impossible for the mom to continue being grouchy with her or our staff. Great job Kym!
- Was helpful to all of the staff and younger dancers all weekend at Starquest. Assisted with costumes, make-up and hair. We appreciate all of her extra efforts at competition!Has consistently been our Good Will Ambassador at each of the competitions. She is supportive of all of our dancers - cheering and giving support to our first time soloists. Lexi meets dancers from other studios and compliments them as they come off stage. We can always count on her to make sure everyone is included and feels welcome. Thank you Lexi!

- Cole was
recognized by the staff at the Co. Dance workshop in January for giving 100%
effort in each and every class. Cole's enthusiasm was a pleasure to watch.
We also want to acknowledge Cole for always offering his assistance whenever
he sees there is a need. Last year at the National Finals he was not even
on Company Team and he assisted the Showbiz staff by cleaning up trash
and helping them with a variety of task. Cole has been
such a tremendous help to us this year assisting with the props at
both competitions. Thank you Cole!

Molly and Cara were fantastic helping all of the new dancers and their moms
get ready for their first competition at Rainbow Connection. Molly and Cara
arrived to competition
even on the day they were not competing. They were doing hair and make-up
all weekend. They also assisted the instructors with stretching and preparing
the dancer to go on stage. They also assisted the younger dancers on stage
at awards. Thanks gals! We appreciate you!
 May 2007
- Ryan was chosen for always being
kind and polite. He sets such a great example to his teammates. Ryan stayed
late at the PRIMETIME competition to help clean up the boys dressing room.
That was quite a task! Imagine 15 teen boys bedrooms all combined into one big disaster. He was a great help getting it all cleaned up before the janitor even arrived. Thank you Ryan!
- Karly was exceptionally helpful
at SHOWBIZ. She assisted with all of the younger dancers. She also helped
keep the dressing room running smoothly. She kept dancers out while quick
changes were happening. Several dance moms commented on how helpful she was. Thank you Karly.

- Brittney is always kind
to everyone. She was especially wonderful at our Secret Pal party. She made
sure everyone made new friends and had a great time. We appreciate that
she made sure that dancers new to team this year felt special and welcome.
She was the perfect Hostess!

Jenny has been a tremendous asset - answering phones to assisting at the
front desk. She has been exceptionally helpful to new dancers and their
parents. She is constantly looking for opportunities to assist dancers and instructors. She
helps with costuming, subbing classes and computer. Jenny has
also also been wonderful helping dancers with their make-up
at every competition.

Molly was an amazing help at American Dance Awards. She was on full
speed, non stop the entire weekend. It was the first competition for many of
the younger dancers and Molly took care of them the entire weekend. She helped
with every aspect of competition from rehearsing them to costume changes.
She was terrific!
April 2006
We had five dancers who were tremendously helpful this past competition; Alyssa, Erin, Vanessa, Eve and Cara.
- Alyssa spent three
days running around taking care of many issues for the entire staff (Jimmy
had the most issues of course). She was at the theater from opening to
close to support the teams and all of the dancers she assists. She also
was helpful right up to the time she left the theater to go to prom.
She got ready for prom in those hideous dressing rooms and had no time
for a nice dinner. And yes, she was back by 6:30 the next morning to
be there to support our dancers. Thank you Alyssa - we appreciate you.
were amazing when we discovered
that the competition was running one hour ahead of schedule and that
they planned to do the same the next day. Both gals got out the cell
phones and were dialing maniacs from their car. Cara would periodically
call me with updates. They managed to get everyone to the theater on
time. Thank You!
were helping Miss
Katie all weekend. They were also extremely helpful in getting the younger
dancers changed and ready, including doing hair in those crazy dressing
rooms. Moms were very thankful for their help.
 March 2006
We have two dancers who have been selected to receive the "You Make A Difference" Award; Jessica White and LeighAnn Eloe!
- Jessica has been very helpful
to all of the instructors this dance season. She has helped with props, costume
pieces, organizing team building activities and assisting Jimmy and Kym with
many last minute random tasks that need to be taken care of. At Thunderstruck, Jessica was
the last person in the dressing room with me picking up trash and cleaning
up the area that TDC occupied. Thanks Jessica!
-
LeighAnn
is always kind and considerate to everyone - fellow dancers, instructors
and TDC staff. But we are especially proud of her for taking time from her
own very busy schedule to meet with another Company dancer every Monday after
school to help her with her school work. LeighAnn is a straight A student
and also plays Club soccer in addition to dancing. I
just love how our kids help each other. Thanks LeighAnn!
February 2006
- Sophia recently
had her arm cast removed after her very extensive surgery. However, she
still came to the competition to support her team, cheer on Annelise who
filled in for her and brought treats for everyone. What great Sportsmanship!
Thanks Sophia!
- When Mia accepted the Top Overall Petite Award for Romeo at Hall
of Fame, she was so poised, we thought she sounded like an experienced Academy Award
winner! Mia thanked Miss Carrie and her teachers, everyone at TDC and the judges.
She was sincere and gracious. We were so proud of how well spoken she was and she
just turned nine years old! Great job Miss Mia!
