SHINING STARS AWARD

This honor is awarded to a group or person who has worked very hard all dance year toward a specific goal. These honorees have taken first place in our eyes !

To Julissa B, a seriously hearing- impaired student, who worked hard all year to be in our petite competition group. Her dedication to dance is a shining example to all students who are handicapped. You can be anything you are willing to work for!! Congratulations Julissa!

 

TDS TRIVIA

Did you know that our first "BIG WIN " was in 1982 ! Back then, when dance competitions first started, the students were judged on talent and interview! All competitors (solos, duets, and groups) in an age bracket (12 under - junior)(13 up - senior) of all dance types competed for only the 3 top spots. TDS took the FIRST PLACE slot in the Junior division and we have been winning awards ever since!!

Did you know that TDS students won First Place in National Competitions for Ballet 10 years in a row?... A total of 15 years altogether!!

How about knowing that Every year that TDS went to National Competitions, we took a first place, high score, title, or top 10 overall WIN ?

Did you know that Miss Debbie's students have gone on to  become Professional Artists in such places as Disney's Animal Kingdom, the Florida State Opera Company, the t.v. show "so you think you can dance?", the Ford Modeling agency, Off Broadway productions, Radio City Music Hall., and even opened their own dance schools? But, even with all the prestige her older students bring, she still loves her Preschool classes the best  and it is there that she feels her greatest accomplishments happen !
