From our students...

DanceWise Student of the Month!

Shirley is Student of the Month for July!

Why did you start dancing?

"As a kid I was a tomboy.  My dad’s nickname for me was “Shotgun”.  I think my mom enrolled me in dance to try and balance out the tree climbing, gun-toting, Davy Crockett coonskin cap adventures in me. It worked!  I fell in love with ballet and pointe and have loved dancing ever since."

​​

What's your favorite dance?

"When I came to Dancewise I had never stepped into a Ballroom studio. It was like walking into a Baskin Robbins 31 Flavors for the first time. There were SO many choices and I felt like I had to taste of every one of them.

I don’t yet have a favorite because there are so many left to sample.  I do enjoy the passion of Mango Tango.  And then there is mouth watering Paso Doble.  Or smooth and sweet Viennese Waltz.  Not to forget the snap and crackle of Quick Step.  I just can’t decide.  Another sample please…."

What's your favorite memory at DanceWise?

"The Madison.  July 2023.  My first solo ballroom performance ever dancing a tango with Paul to Adele’s 'Set Fire to the Rain'.  At times I thought I would never master all the sequences Paul was throwing out to learn.  But on the night of the showcase I remember finishing the number and thinking I made it through without falling down or stepping on Paul’s toes. So at the end I jumped for joy which was totally inappropriate. But it felt great and I’ll always remember that feeling of accomplishment!"

Do you have any advice for other dancers?

"Don’t ever give up or give in.  Those challenging steps that are so difficult and make you want to scream will finally surrender to you.  Your brain, body, arms, legs and feet will come to agreement and will feel the joy and beauty of dancing."

The Student Spotlight of the Month is an opportunity to highlight the wonderful people that make up the Dancewise community. Each month, we'll randomly select one of our students to shine a spotlight on and celebrate their dance journey so far! Thank you Shirley for being part of our Dancewise Family!
