July Featured Dancer
It is time to feature our July APA Dancer! If you are just tuning in, each month we want to celebrate one of our amazing dancers with a little extra love on our blog. Our dancers are dedicated and put so much heart into their dancing we want to share more about them with all of you. When you are part of a dance studio it becomes your dance family. We are thankful for each and every one of our APA Dancers.
For July we are featuring Miss Christy W. Christy is not only one of our Amazing dancers she also contributes much more to both APA and our Pre-School Move Early Education! Read more about Christy and her fun interview below.
Christy has been dancing with APA for almost 8 years now and became a teacher for us 6 years ago. She is both a wonderful dancer and teacher. Her sweet personality makes her a great mentor to many of our younger dancers, which she always enjoys helping. Christy has been involved in many of our productions as both a dancer and a costume designer/seamstress. Many of the costumes you have seen on stage, over the last 5 years, have been made and/or designed by Christy. It is easy to say that Christy is a vital and important part of APA and our Preschool MOVE Early Education.

It is not for unsteady souls.” — Merce Cunningham
