Quote: Anything that has been done once is more easily done a second time. After it has been done a dozen times, it is still easier. After it has been done a hundred times, it is call natural, and is done without conscious thought or attention, slipped into without thinking – it has become habit. – Excerpt from Hillyer’s Child Training.Wishing you a special Memorial Day from DAC.

Arts education in K — 12 schools plays a major role in cultivating creative thinkers. Its ultimate purpose is not to develop the next Picasso or Beethoven — it's to foster creative and critical thinking skills for all students, at all academic levels. It's about developing skills in communication and collaboration, and supporting different styles of learning — kinesthetic, visual, experiential — that enhance conceptual understanding across all subjects, including science and math. - By Susan Coliton and Patricia A. Wasley Special to the Times

Studying dance in not like reading a book...putting it down in June and picking up where you left off in September. It is not as simple as getting out of shape and getting back into it. It is a matter of forming the mind, body and spirit while it continues to grow for a lifetime’s foundation of poise, discipline and creative problem solving. There is no substitute and no way anyone can fill the gap in training that is missed. Be sure you are enrolled for the summer!
