Dance in Leander: A Look Back at 2017

Each year, we are blessed with meeting new families and students as well as watching our returning students grow up in the studio.  Each year brings new experiences and new memories.  Here is a look back at some of the wonderful memories we made in 2017 here at Center Stage in Leander.

January brought new students with the start of  the spring session.  Our students were ready to get back to dancing after the winter break.  In February, our classes began working on their routines for the recital.  We also participated in the Living Leander Expo in February.

In March, some of our students enjoyed a Spring Break Fairy camp day.

April brings on dance competition season for us here at Center Stage.  This is an exciting time for all of our company dancers.

In May, our students polished their recital dances in preparation for the show.  We also had our dance company auditions in May.  With June comes our annual showcase!  Our students loved showcasing their talent and hard work on stage for their friends and family to enjoy.

In July, our dancers enjoyed taking a variety of summer classes as well participating in intensives and camps.

Our competitive dancers began their company camps in August where they did team building activities and began working on their choreography for the year.  September is an exciting time at Center Stage as it brings on the start of the new dance year!

This past October, our competitive dancers attended Celebrity dance convention.  We also loved the last week of October at Center Stage because it is dress up week!

In November, our Arise team gathered donations for Christmas boxes to send overseas.  Our students continued to work on technique in their classes and learned Christmas routines.  December was a fun month at Center Stage with a Polar Express Party, team holiday parties, and a pointe shoe trip.  Our Pointe I dancers earned their pointe shoes and went to get fitted over the holiday break.

Reflecting on the past year and seeing all the wonderful memories reminds us of what a blessing it is to teach these dancers.  We look forward to many more years of making memories with our Center Stage family!
