The competitive dancers of Prima School of Dancing recently had the opportunity of a lifetime. Studio Director and owner, Christy Remington, explained, “We took 39 dancers and their families to New York City, where we had the amazing opportunity of dancing on the Rockette’s stage at Radio City Music Hall.”
Company Director, Tricia Baltzer, submitted videos of the Prima dancers to audition for this prestigious opportunity. “They chose four studios from across the nation, and we were one of those,” Christy explained. “The Rockettes taught a master class for our dancers in their rehearsal hall and the dancers actually performed on the Great Stage at Radio City Music Hall. We’re just really honored to be selected for this, knowing the caliber of dance studios that have been selected for this in the past.”
While in New York City, the dancers were also able to enjoy some of the best and most iconic experiences that the Big Apple has to offer. “Being in New York City around the Christmas season was just amazing,” Christy said. “Our dancers also had the opportunity to take a private master class with Sean Stewart, one of American Ballet Theatre Company’s instructors, and cast members from the Broadway show ‘Aladdin.’”
Teaching dance, transforming lives. That’s more than a motto for Prima School of Dancing. When someone can discover their passion and connect with a community of care and support, the possibilities are endless. Every student at Prima receives this same relentless commitment to possibility. “Prima is a place to belong,” Christy said. “It’s a place where students and teachers can express themselves artistically and grow as dancers and, just as importantly, as people.”
