Straub Dance Center celebrates 50 years of dance education in Westerville Being the oldest dance center in Central Ohio gives Straub Dance Center many advantages. Straub’s reputation is known throughout the state as well as across the country. Strong technique and ethics are the hallmark of the Straub dance training; however, the business was founded 50 years ago because of a love for children and dance. While the majority of students ages 2-18 take classes for enjoyment, poise, confidence, strength and team spirit, Straub has trained dozens of students who have gone on to earn college scholarships, dance with professional companies and hold professional dance careers. Straub is also known for tasteful and appropriate music and costumes for dancers of all ages.

Straub Dance Center offers dance classes for children ages two and up in the forms of Baby Dance, Pre-Dance, Creative Movement, Tap, Pre-Ballet, Ballet, PreJazz, Jazz, Hip Hop, Boys Hip Hop, Pointe, Modern, Contemporary and Adaptive Movement for dancers with special needs.

Children ages 2-5 attend class in a room with a viewing window which allows parents and grandparents the opportunity to watch every class.

Artistic Director Suzy Straub has trained three NYC Rockettes and several Broadway touring company dancers. Beth Johnson Nicely, who lives in New York, has danced in nine Broadway shows; Barbara Bednarczuk performed in “War Paint” on Broadway.

Other former students include: Kathleen Voss, former Rockette and professional U.S. Tap Company member; Melody Pomeroy, former Miss Dance of Ohio, Joffery Ballet Scholarship winner and performer in “Tokyo’s Disney” and “Oklahoma”; and Jill Adler, winner of the USA Tap Association Top Award and tied for third place in the World Championships of Tap in Germany.

Straub Dance Center is highly selective with all instructors making sure that children of all ages receive positive and technical training in a friendly and warm environment. Melynda Straub Lott danced professionally (Actor’s Equity) for seven years starting at the age of 16.

One of her shows was “Pajama Game” with Randy Skinner (a Tony-nominated choreographer) as her partner. Christy Lott Wiegand is a strong performing arts choreographer and instructor who has won many top overall awards with her

lines and groups. Christy is a former Miss Dance of Ohio.

Drew Burgess is also a performing arts choreographer and instructor and is a former Mr. Dance of America. Drew teaches master classes all over the globe, but has his home at Straub Dance Center. He performed with Rasta Thomas’ “ROCK the Ballet” which starred the Bad Boys of Dance and has won countless awards as a performer and instructor. Steffi Thomas trained at the Central School of Ballet in London and has performed all over Europe including for the Queen of England. She taught in England and Ireland and now has her home in the U.S. at Straub Dance Center. McKenzie McGrath was the 2017 Miss Dance of Ohio and the 2017 Distinguished Young Woman of Ohio and is an aspiring Radio City Rockette. McKenzie has made it through all eight rounds of the Rockette auditions twice and has been invited to the 2018 Invitational in July.

Other instructors include Lynn Slomsky (young dancer expert), Hannah Sabedra (1st Overall Elite Senior Soloist at Ohio’s Dance Masters in 2018), Ali and Emi Malik (Straub Dance Center alum, OSU Dance

Company Members and Choreographers) and Heather Podracky (Straub Dance Center alum and former OSU cheerleader).

Straub Dance Center has had five state winners in the Distinguished Young Woman of Ohio competition and students from Straub have received dance scholarships to attend universities such as Point Park, The Ohio State University, Ohio University and Troy State in Alabama. The Center has been featured in the prestigious “Dance Magazine.”

Straub has had top overall winners at Ohio’s Dance Masters every year since 1992 and many dancers have received top overall awards at the national level.

Recently, 21 dancers (age 7 and up) from Straub received dance scholarships at Ohio’s Dance Masters state convention in Cleveland.

The Center will be celebrating its 50th year of dance in June at the summer recital. Visit www.straubdance.com or find Straub Dance Center on Facebook for more information on attending this free, familyfriendly event. The summer dance session will begin in June.

Exploring the latest in orthodontic technology Salaita & Emrich Orthodontics is proud to offer the most recent advancements in orthodontic technology to provide more accurate and efficient treatment for our patients. We use the latest generation of intraoral scanners, the Itero® Element™, as a replacement to messy impressions. The digital scanner is used to fabricate models of teeth for placing braces and making appliances such as retainers and expanders. It’s also used to make Invisalign® aligners.

In addition to traditional metal braces, the practice also offers a more esthetic option using the latest in ceramic technology known as the Clarity™ Advanced bracket. These new clear brackets are less bulky and more comfortable for our patients than older types of clear braces. They are also more stain resistant and less likely to break.

Another unique feature that sets the office apart is that the doctors use the most precise technique for putting on braces known as indirect bonding. By having one office location, they can focus on serving patients to the highest standards and are available for their needs every day of the week.

Dedication to customer Wateroak Furniture Repair satisfaction a cornerstone at Infinity from Marvin When replacing your windows or doors, there are a lot of things to consider, and having a trusted resource in the industry can be invaluable when making these decisions. Infinity from Marvin has built its reputation as a leader in manufacturing, and now with Infinity from Marvin Columbus it is a trusted outlet for consumers as well.

Infinity from Marvin Columbus grew out of the desire of Infinity corporate to offer the best window and door replacement experience in the market. This created two corporately owned Infinity from Marvin retail stores, one in Cleveland and the other here in Columbus. While the name may have changed, the dedication to customer satisfaction has remained a cornerstone of the business. General Manager Jonathan Kloepfer and his team work hard to educate homeowners on the ins and outs of the replacement window and door industry.

“We absolutely take a consultative approach,” says Kloepfer. “We understand that our products and services are not for everyone, so we are not going to force someone into that direction. All of our reps have a considerable background in the construction field. That is more important to us than sales experience. By taking this approach, we find ourselves to be highly referable, which is really something that we take a lot of pride in.”

Judging by the feedback provided through third-party surveyors, customers

appreciate Infinity from Marvin’s approach to the replacement process.

“People enjoy doing business with us. It is an easy and even enjoyable experience” says Kloepfer. “By offering Infinity and Provia products, we are able to offer the best solutions available in the marketplace as well as incredible service from the amazing team that we have assembled.

I am most proud of our dedication to customer satisfaction. We truly go the extra mile to ensure that our customers are happy.”

Do you have an upcoming window or door replacement project or just have a couple questions to ask? Call our local office to speak with an Infinity from Marvin team member or stop by our showroom on Lazelle Road near Polaris Mall.

In 1993, my wife and I retired from AT&T with 30 years of service, so I sat and watched TV and piddled at nothing for a while and worked in my woodshop for a while and I realized I needed something productive to do. I checked into furniture repair and found out about a furniture repair school in Waterloo, Wisconsin. It was a three-week training class at Minuteman Furniture Repair School. They taught us the correct way to repair all kinds of furniture.

After three weeks I graduated with honors. When we returned to Westerville I started my company. At first I did repair and refinishing. I had a strip tank in Ashley, Ohio and did the stripping of furniture pieces on Saturdays and refinished them in Westerville the following week. Business was very good but I finally realized I had too much dust in the shop where I did cutting and sanding but I could not afford another building to do refinishing, so I switched strictly to repair.

I can make new spindles to replace broken ones that cannot be repaired – but most breaks can be repaired! To make a repair on a broken spindle I drill a quarter-inch hole in the end of the spindle and insert a metal dowel and epoxy it together and let it set in a clamp overnight for it to dry and then install it in the chair the next day. I’ve done chair repairs for clients from Michigan, Northern Ohio, and Iowa, but mostly from Westerville, Columbus, Powell, Lancaster, Grove City, Upper Arlington, Hilliard, Gahanna and Johnstown. I’ve

done chair spindles for a nursing home in Minnesota, then shipped them to my client to install.

By using epoxy and metal dowels I can guarantee a chair for 10 years. I’ve done work for clients at the recommendation of Amish Original Furniture. Because of my age and arthritis, I don’t do heavy work any more but I can stick with furniture the size of rockers or smaller.

I’m also building pet caskets to order, in sizes of small, medium, large and extra large.

Something new every day at Aquarium Adventure Aquarium Adventure in Hilliard showcases the largest and best selection of tropical, marine, and pond fish in the country.

This 11,000-square-foot aquarium superstore features a huge variety of aquariums, aquarium furniture and supplies.

The fish, invertebrates and plants are presented in aquarium displays that are entertaining and educational. The store layout conveys to shoppers

and visitors the wonders and benefits of having an aquarium in your home or place of business.

Aquarium Adventure was designed with families and professionals in mind. This showplace is a fun place to visit and explore our aquatic world.

Travel from continent to continent and see fish and invertebrates indigenous to the lakes, rivers, streams and oceans located throughout the

world. The best part, when you finish your journey you can opt to take home your own ecosystem.

At Aquarium Adventure we offer everything from starter kits to full custom installation. Whether you already have an aquarium or are considering one, we can offer professional advice on all aspects of your system. Let our staff help you with everything from plumbing

and electric to water conditions and questions about the care of your fish.

With custom installations we coordinate everything from the design and architecture through engineering and construction. We also offer complete maintenance of your system including cleaning and stocking of new fish and supplies. Rest assured, we’ll be there when needed.

Owner Bill Wymard set up his first aquarium at the age of 10. He had no idea that several decades later he would be keeping more than 500 aquariums. He had no idea he would still have the same passion and enthusiasm for fish that he did when he was so young.

With a degree in marine biology and an excitement about all things fish, it just seemed natural that the two would blend to make his lifelong dream come true. He wanted to build the biggest and best aquarium store in the country. With the help of his wife Sandy, many talented, supportive friends and family members, Aquarium Adventure in June 1997 opened its doors to rave reviews in Columbus.

www.aquariumadventurecolumbus.com Sandy Wymard’s experience in retail management, design and merchandising allow this husband and wife team to do what they both enjoy.

They are quick to give the credit of their success to the many people who have helped them along the way, especially their knowledgeable, talented, sincere and long-term associates at the store. They will tell you that they learn something new every day at Aquarium Adventure, and the openness to learning new things energizes them.

We pride ourselves in having the widest selection of healthy fish, corals and plants. Our staff biologists check the

health of all our aquatic life. This ensures that our fish, no matter where they’re from, are as beautiful and healthy as they would be in the wild.

Aquarium Adventure believes that all underwater worlds hold great fascination, splendor and knowledge. Their hope is that you will too.

“Because we must responsibly coexist with our world, we are committed to understanding and enriching the knowledge of our aquatic eco-systems through education and guidance to ensure the preservation of our hobby and our environment.”

Clinical Expertise Driving Mount Carmel St. Ann’s Evolution With its origins as a maternity hospital and its expertise in emergency care, it’s not surprising that those specialties still come to mind when people think of Mount Carmel St. Ann’s. Westerville’s hospital still welcomes more than 4,200 new babies each year and has one of the busiest emergency departments in the community. But it’s also expanded its clinical capabilities over the years that have allowed the hospital to become much, much more.

Today Mount Carmel St. Ann’s is a regional medical center, and the hospital’s exceptional team of medical professionals provide award-winning, patient-centered care in a number of distinct specialties.

It’s also home to a number of state-ofthe-art facilities and capabilities, such as fully integrated cardiovascular care including open heart surgery, a Primary Stroke Center, a dedicated Women’s Health Center, an award-winning Network Cancer Program, the first Cyberknife® robotic radiosurgery center in central Ohio, and a dedicated orthopedics and spine unit.

Expert Surgical Care

The heart surgeons at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s are among the most experienced in central Ohio. They handle many of the most complex cases, perform some of the most advanced procedures available and are recognized for excellence. In fact, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s was the first hospital in northeast Columbus to offer open-heart surgery, bringing much-needed access to this life-saving procedure to patients in Westerville and surrounding communities. The hospital’s vascular surgeons are experts at performing both endovascular and open surgical treatments and reconstructions, working together to carefully consider each patient’s case and choose the best treatment option for their needs.

Mount Carmel St. Ann’s also provides state-of-the-art neurosurgical care for a wide variety of spine and neurological disorders, including stroke, brain aneurysms and brain tumors. The team is highly experienced in traditional neurosurgery and uses minimally invasive approaches whenever possible. They’re also regularly involved in creating and utilizing new surgical technologies.

The hospital’s expert and fellowshiptrained breast surgeons offer a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of both benign and malignant breast conditions as well. That includes utilizing the most up-to-date, minimally invasive and surgical oncoplastic reconstructive techniques to adequately and safely treat breast conditions and provide good cosmetic outcomes.

Mount Carmel St. Ann’s expert team of general surgeons performs both emergency and elective surgeries every day.

From abdominal surgeries to procedures involving the gall bladder, liver, stomach, pancreas and other organs, their general surgeons utilize open, laparoscopic and even robotic-assisted techniques to give patients safe, effective surgical options.

Mount Carmel’s integrated joint program is led by a collaborative committee of orthopedic surgeons and hospital staff that focuses on standardized protocols and processes, thorough pre-operative patient education and the best possible outcomes.

Their surgeons perform a wide variety of joint replacement procedures including total knee, hip, and shoulder replacements; unicompartmental knee surgery; and hip resurfacing.

Mount Carmel St. Ann’s has received the Healthgrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence™ for the past two years for performing in the top 5 percent nationally for overall clinical excellence. The hospital was also among only 9 percent of hospitals nationwide to receive 5 Stars for quality outcomes, safety and patient satisfaction scores from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

State-Of-The-Art, Whole-Body Health Surgery isn’t the only expertise at Mount Carmel St. Ann’s. The medical center offers a full complement of experts, treatments and services for just about every health need. That includes an exceptional neuroscience program. The program combines extensive experience, compassion and technology to provide the very best in patient care, from detection and diagnosis to treatment, research and recovery. The St. Ann’s neuroscience team is made up of board-certified neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuroradiologists, neuropsychologists and advanced practice nurses who provide a diversity of neuroscience services. They also have coordinated rapid response systems in place for treating stroke patients, dedicated neuroscience units with epilepsy monitoring, and a neuro ICU. In addition, they have specialists in multiple sclerosis and epilepsy; teleneurology capabilities in the ER and have been nationally recognized by the Joint Commission as a Primary Stroke Center.

Mount Carmel St. Ann’s also has an enviable offering of heart and vascular services, including imaging, diagnostic and interventional cardiac care, and open-heart and vascular surgery. The hospital features state-of-the-art cath and electrophysiology labs, as well as intensive care and stepdown units for cardiac care. Their core cardiologists, electrophysiologists, and cardiac and vascular surgeons rank among the best in their fields and take a multidisciplinary approach to cardiovascular care. They also actively participate in clinical research that allows the hospital to continually pursue new ways to improve the care patients receive.

The hospital’s comprehensive cancer program works to prevent, detect and treat cancer using cutting-edge research, advanced technologies, and integrated, multidisciplinary care. That starts with a dedicated team of expert and boardcertified surgeons, medical oncologists, radiation oncologists, radiologists, pathologists and specially trained oncology nurse navigators that’s committed to progressive and compassionate cancer care. Their comprehensive outpatient cancer center offers complete treatment services, including clinical trials and cutting-edge radiation therapy techniques designed to limit radiation exposure to healthy tissue. Mount Carmel St. Ann’s is also home to stereotactic radiosurgery practice Columbus Cyberknife, which offers an advanced technology that delivers radiation directly to tumors with pinpoint precision.

Cancer screening is just one of the services available at the hospital’s Women’s Health Center. In addition to offering the most advanced screening options available for the detection of breast cancer, including 3D mammography, automated breast ultrasound (ABUS) and ultrasound-guided biopsy, the center offers specialized services to diagnose and manage female pelvic floor and other disorders. And each is provided in an exceedingly comfortable, private environment.

Mount Carmel St. Ann’s also has a comprehensive orthopedics program.

It features a skilled team of boardcertified physicians, specially trained nurses, and physical and occupational therapists who focus on the diagnosis, treatment and rehab of a full spectrum of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries, including joint replacements, spinal

fusions, trauma procedures and fracture repair.

Of course, Mount Carmel St. Ann’s still offers quality, comprehensive emergency medical care and personal, comfort-andsafety-driven maternity care.

The emergency department, which serves more than 65,000 patients each year, is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and staffed by board-certified emergency physicians, high-acuity nurses, on-call specialists and expert technicians, and is equipped with the sophisticated technologies to treat almost any emergency.

The Little Miracles maternity team helps ensure that each pregnancy – and every baby – is as safe and healthy as possible. That support is available before, during and after pregnancy, and includes breastfeeding education and assistance, as well as the area’s only hospital-based doula program. St. Ann’s also offers an Advanced Maternal Fetal Medicine Program led by fellowship-trained and nationally recognized physicians with expertise in fetal treatment, genetics and maternal health disorders. And when complications arise, there’s a Nationwide Children’s Hospital Level III newborn intensive care unit with expert teams and technologies at the ready.

National Recognition

Quality care is one thing. Awardwinning care is another. Mount Carmel St. Ann’s offers both.

The hospital has received the Healthgrades Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence™ for the past two years for performing in the top 5 percent nationally for overall clinical excellence. St. Ann’s was also among only 9 percent of hospitals nationwide to receive 5 Stars for quality outcomes, safety and patient satisfaction scores from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.

Most recently, we’ve been named a winner in the Watson Health 100 Top Hospitals® study, as well as a 100 Top Hospitals Everest 2018 award winner, which uses publicly available clinical, operational and patient satisfaction data.

The Joint Commission has given Mount Carmel St. Ann’s its Gold Seal of Approval® for demonstrating continuous compliance with Joint Commission performance standards and its commitment to providing safe and effective patient care. It’s also received the Mission: Lifeline Receiving Center Gold Plus Award from the American Heart Association for implementing quality measures for the treatment of severe heart attacks. And the American Heart Association/American Stroke Association presented the hospital with the Get With The Guidelines – Stroke Gold Plus Quality Achievement Award with Target: Stroke Honor Roll Elite for its commitment to providing stroke treatment that’s in keeping with nationally recognized, research- and evidence-based guidelines.

Mount Carmel is accredited as a Network Cancer Program by the American College of Surgeons as well, and is proudly endorsed by the National Accreditation Program for Breast Centers for meeting national quality standards.

So while it’s understandable to think of Mount Carmel St. Ann’s for its historically outstanding emergency and maternity services, it’s time to think of the hospital in a whole new light. Because that’s what it’s casting on healthcare in Westerville and all of northeast Central Ohio.

Healthy Kids and Rescue Dogs Cincy is a black lab mix who flunked out of school at Pilot Dogs. Daisy, a standard poodle, came from an uncertain past by way of a rescue group.

Cincy is good with people but Daisy is the vivacious social queen. Both like popcorn, gladly accept treats, and can be found at Westerville Ace Hardware where they meet and greet customers and customer’s dogs who are welcome come to visit too.

Another core part of the mission at Westerville Ace Hardware is raising funds in support of the kids and their families at Nationwide Children’s Hospital through Children’s Miracle Network. CMN is supported across the nation by independent locally owned local Ace Hardware stores. All money raised locally by CMN stays local.

Healthy kids and happy dogs, what’s better than that? Locally owned and family operated, Westerville Ace Hardware owners Wendy Weiler and Mike Dwyer invite the public and their pups to stop by have a bag of freshly popped popcorn, visit with Cincy and Daisy, support local dog rescue groups in-store adoption days and CMN fundraising efforts. Wendy, Mike and their team members believe that an essential part of being a good business is being good to the community in which they operate.

Parkside Village To Open New Addition In Summer 2018 After an 18-month long expansion project, Parkside Village, a Danbury Senior Living Community, will open 69 additional apartments in the summer of 2018, enabling them to better serve the growing need for senior living in the Westerville and surrounding areas. This new addition will include a dining room enlargement as well as additional common areas and more independent living, assisted living, and memory care apartments as well as a new exciting state-of-the-art program that is the first of its kind in Ohio. More details are soon to come about this new program.

With the new space, Parkside Village will launch additional programming for residents with Parkinson’s Disease and they will continue to partner with the Parkinson’s Foundation of Central Ohio to offer educational events and webinars throughout the year. “We’re extremely excited to be able to soon share with the community our new addition,” said Executive Director Chris Quinlan.

“Much thought and planning has gone into developing spaces and programs to meet the needs of our current and future residents.”

The senior living community features amenities such as a movie theater, pub, fitness center, billiards room, library, craft room, beauty salon, and more. They offer a variety of floor plans ranging from spacious studios to 1 and 2-bedroom apartments as well as exceptional allday restaurant style dining, weekly housekeeping with linen service, 24-hour on-site nursing services, transportation, and a variety of fun and meaningful life enrichment programs, activities, and events.

“We have a very active community,” said Director of Marketing and Admissions Kristel Smith. “Our residents enjoy a variety of activities including entertainers, happy hour, card clubs, book clubs, writer’s groups, choir, arts and craft

classes, exercise classes, and so much more. We also offer transportation to doctor’s appointments, grocery stores, and clothing or craft stores as well as special outings each week. We keep our residents as busy as they want to be. Some folks have

referred to us as a cruise ship that never sets sail.”

Parkside Village is unique in the fact that stepping up to a higher level of care from independent living does not necessitate a move. They recognize that individuals have varying health needs and those needs may change over time, so they created a community that tailors services to each person without the need to move to another apartment. Their mindful rate structure also offers significant value for couples to maintain their lifestyle with or without support services. With the wide selection of spacious floor plans, it makes it easy for couples to find the perfect balance of space and togetherness. They have some of the largest apartments with the option for support services within central Ohio, making them a very popular choice for couples.

Parkside Village was named by Columbus CEO Magazine as a 2017 Top Workplace in the Central Ohio area.

“One of the things we’re proudest of at Parkside is the longevity of our staff,” said Quinlan. “Most of our managers have been here since the beginning and many of our support staff have longevity. That’s such a rarity in our ever-changing healthcare industry. We are lucky to work with so many great people who have a heart and passion to serve our residents. Parkside is truly a special place!”

Parkside will be scheduling a grand opening for the new addition in the summer, so stay tuned for the details.

Fredrick Ball, last of the ‘old school’ locksmiths After a long career in commercial construction & maintenance, including a term as a corporate locksmith, I established my part-time lock shop in 2013. In 2016, I retired from the corporate world, which provided me with the opportunity to work full time, specializing in residential service to the Westerville area.

I am a bonded & insured professional locksmith, with experience in all manner of locks, including commercial, residential, automotive, safes, home-security systems, and my favorite, antique hardware restorations.

Westerville has been my home town for over 15 years, and my customers are not only neighbors, but many also have become good friends.

If you need a trusted friend to give you confidential & free advice regarding how to better secure your home, call me!

Dance nurtures children’s spirits at Generations At Generations Performing Arts Center their motto is “Where Every Student Counts.” Generations Performing Arts Center is the perfect place for dance for you and your child. They aim to create an environment where the students and their families come first. They offer classes for all ages from beginner through professional.

Directors Angie and Cindy have the professional experience and educational backgrounds to ensure the best training in central Ohio in a caring environment!

Generations’ Mission

In 1999, Generations opened in beautiful and convenient Uptown Westerville with this mission: “Generations is dedicated to nurturing the child’s spirit through the art of dance!”

• educating through discipline, teamwork, socialization, cooperation and Judeo-Christian principles • self-assurance through goal setting and consistent progress • instilling confidence and self-esteem • making every child feel special • community service through performance and education!

The mission continues today creating an environment where students and their families come first. Generations’ goal is to make sure the teachers and staff are focused on students and to help every child become an exceptional person and the dancer she dreams of being in the future.

Great Uptown Westerville location

Why uptown Westerville? At their first meeting with parents in 1999, it was asked, “What do you look for in a location?” The answers included: a spacious, convenient, safe and clean facility; something to do while the children are in class; and food nearby for those who dance long hours. That is why Generations made their home in Uptown Westerville.

Registration

Generations is currently registering for summer classes and accepting fall pre-registrations. Register online, by phone, by mail or in person today! Call (614) 794-3298 for assistance. For online registration, go to the registration page and follow the instructions.

Local mother shares her thoughts on Generations We LOVE Generations! Summer classes were a nice way to get started with a short commitment to see if she liked it. (She did!) My favorite thing about Generations is that you value and teach each girl as an important person, not just a number. I truly appreciate how you hold the girls to task, hold them accountable, and make them work hard but you do it in a loving and kind way.

I am always impressed at how much Rachel has learned each time I have the chance to observe. I feel the training is wonderful. Your recital and Christmas shows are amazing.

Your values as Christians really show through and we love that! I can’t think of a better way for my daughter to spend her time. In choosing a dance studio for a younger dancer, I’d be more interested in how dance would benefit her as a person. That being said, as she gets older, it is very impressive that you train such high quality dancers that have the opportunity to travel/perform all over.

She is learning dance, but also learning valuable life lessons. The competition was our first experience and I cannot tell you how impressed I was with our dancers and your choice of costumes, appropriate choreography, and rules of conduct. I was completely shocked to see how some of the other dance studios had their girls dressed, the dance moves they used, and their attire when walking around the hallway. It was quite a contrast to Generations dancers. It made me so happy as a parent. I truly want you to know how much I appreciate you! I will support Rachel dancing with you as much and as long as she desires!

– Ashley, mother of Generations dancer

Generations’ Graduate and Radio City Rockette, Nadia Kolda; below: Joey Vice, Generations student and winner of Arnold’s Quest for Talent

Competitive training
