Thankful In 2020

As the Thanksgiving Holiday approaches, we at Allen Conservatory of Dance find we have much to be grateful for this year, as strange as that may sound.

The patience, support and encouragement you have shown us has been humbling. Through it all, you have been there for us:

when we struggled with Instagram Live, Zoom and other technologies,

as we had to reschedule and reschedule and reschedule performances and events,

as you waited in your cars in 100 degree heat while your children were in class

During the various iterations of temperature taking, barre sanitizing and mask wearing policies

If you were a boyfriend, you would have left us by now.

But your commitment to your child’s dance education, even though it doesn’t look the same as it did last year, is awesome. And your confidence in our ability to set and achieve goals for our dancers is incredibly inspiring to us.

Thank you for all you do. If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t still be here.
