Hello Again! We have another DANCER OF THE WEEK to introduce you to... meet our very own Harper Lee. Harper is new to us in the last few years and has been such a blessing and bright spot around the dance studio. She is always eager to learn and ready for a new challange - we love teaching her at DCJ DANCE!

Meet Harper:

Hi, my name is Harper Lee, and I am a fifth grader at Hebron Valley
Elementary
.  My favorite subject in school is Math.  I have been dancing for
eight years, and this is my second year at DCJ School of Dance.  I take
Ballet, Jazz, Lyrical, Musical Theater, Hip Hop, and Leaps and Turns.  I
also take a weekly Pilates class to help me with my flexibility.  For the
past four years, I have danced with the Moscow Ballet production of The
Nutcracker.  This year, I am going to be a Chinese dancer.  I love taking
classes at DCJ, and I love all of my teachers.  Each week we work on
technique and performance, while still having fun.  I LOVE dance!!


THANKS HARPER! HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEK!

Pageant Pretties!

A few weeks ago some of our dance kids participated in the Miss Plano Frisco Teen and Junior Pageant. They were beautiful, talented, poised and oh so wonderful on stage and we wanted to share how well they did!

Three of our kids participated in the Junior pageant where the areas of competition consisted of sports and evening wear modeling, talent, and interview. All three blew us away with how well they did!  Here are Paige and Baylee modeling their sportswear!

At the end of the day Maryann walked away with Miss Congeniality, Paige won the talent competition and Baylee was crowned Miss Plano Frisco's Grande Supreme Winner! Check out these beauties!

The next day our sweet Brenna was in the Teen pageant and was amazing! She placed 1st runner up and we could not have been more proud of her! Here she is pictured with the outgoing Miss Teen Plano, one of our other student Jessica and the current Miss Teen Texas, Reilly.

The best part of the entire weekend was seeing the huge support system that all the girls had from the other young ladies at the dance studio. What a wonderful day it was!!!

Hi, I’m Paige J. I am 11 years old and in the 6th grade. I have been dancing since I was 3 years old. I started dancing at Dianne Cole Johnson School of Dance when I was 6 years old. I am so excited to be in my sixth year at DCJ! I take ballet, tap, jazz, musical theatre, and pre-pointe. I love to dance because it is so fun and good exercise! It makes me happy to perform and share my love of music with others.  I love the teachers at DCJ! They are friendly, full of energy, and fun!  They motivate me and push me to keep working and improving! I also keep busy by going to Fellowship Church every week. I like to play piano. I am also part of the orchestra and choir at my school, and I take private violin lessons, and private voice lessons. I have a wonderful mom, dad, and little brother.
