Welcome to Georgia Dance Conservatory’s Recital 2021 A Note from the Directors and Owners of GDC Parents, friends, and dancers, We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you to Georgia Dance Conservatory’s Recital 2021! This weekend’s performances mark a major milestone for everyone involved—for the dancers returning to the stage after not being able to have a recital one year ago, training online and in smaller groups in person, and dancing in masks all year long; for the faculty and staff who have survived and continued to pour their passion, love, and excitement into your dancers online and in person; and for you, our parents, friends, and loved ones watching LIVE, either in the audience with us in person or across the country streamed into to your homes. Welcome to Recital and welcome back to live theatre!

GDC’s Recital 2021 also marks the very first recital for us, Ashleigh and Gray, as the new owners of Georgia Dance Conservatory. In August 2019, we were overjoyed to realize our lifelong dream-come-true when we purchased GDC from the previous owners, Lisa and Billy Toups. Although the months that followed were not exactly what we had in mind as part of our dream, we were determined to get through the challenges and dance on anyway.

Dance on we did, and it is thanks to every single one of you here in the audience for your support, trust, and encouragement through the past year and a half. It has been an immense joy to dance with your students through all of the ups and downs. And we are so incredibly grateful and VERY PROUD to share the results of the past season of Growing, Dancing, and Creating through it all.

As new owners, we are not only in the business of dance, we are in the business of LEARNING. Thank you to everyone who took the time to give us feedback, guidance, and support this year to help us make GDC the best place for you and your dancers. As always, if there is anything we can do to make GDC a more fun, safe, and loving place for your dancers, please let us know! When you see us we may be running around doing all the things, but we would always love to hear from you.

Now, without further ado, sit back, relax, and ENJOY your dancers!

With immense gratitude, Ashleigh Whitworth and Gray Stoner Owners/Directors, Georgia Dance Conservatory
