Annual Dance Recital
Thursday, June 5, 2025 6:30 P.M.
Manitoba Theatre Centre
We are grateful to practice our art on Treaty One land, the traditional territory of the Anishinaabeg, Cree, OjiCree, Dakota, and Dene peoples, and the homeland of the Métis Nation.
We acknowledge that our water is sourced from Shoal Lake 40 First Nation. We stand with the Indigenous community and commit an ongoing process of reconciliation and collaboration.
To Our Remarkable Dance Families:
As we celebrate our 46th annual recital, I’m filled with so much gratitude and pride. Each year brings its own special memories, but this one has truly reminded me why I love what we do.
To our incredible dancers—watching you grow, not just in your technique but in your confidence, creativity, and kindness, has been the greatest joy. You’ve supported one another, worked so hard, and brought such energy and heart into every class and rehearsal. We see you, and we are so proud.
To our amazing faculty—thank you for being the heart of this studio. Your passion, patience, and commitment to our dancers is something I’m constantly in awe of. You’ve helped create a space where kids feel safe to express themselves and be their full, authentic selves.
And to our wonderful parents and families—thank you for going above and beyond to make sure every costume is stage-ready, for the rides to class, the snacks, the hugs, and most of all, your unwavering support. It truly takes a village, and I’m so grateful to have you all as part of ours.
What makes our studio special isn’t just the dancing—it’s the culture we’ve built together. One rooted in kindness, encouragement, and connection. That’s something we can all be proud of.
Here’s to 46 years of dance, love, and community—and to many more to come
With all my heart,
Rheesa M Schachter
