Dear friends and family of Craven Dance:

As you may be aware, Mrs. Craven has decided to retire from Craven Dance Studio. This year (2023) will mark 90 years, with the studio beginning in 1933.

We would love for anyone who danced with Craven over the last 45(!) years to show their appreciation by sending Mrs. Craven a note of thanks, encouragement, or comment on the influence she’s had in your life.

On June 1 and June 2, 2023 at Jackson High School, from 4:30 - 8:30 pm (both days), there will be a table with notecards available for anyone who would like to write Mrs. Craven a note to thank her for her service, time, dedication, patience, etc. You can also bring your own card or note to drop off as well. Mrs. Craven will not be available to visit at that time, because rehearsals will be in progress.

For those who are out of town that would like to wish her well, you may send your note of thanks to the email address of Christine Dangelo at [email protected]; she will make sure your notes are included.

The final shows will be Saturday, June 3, 2023 at 7:00 pm, and June 4, 2023 at 2:00 pm; both shows will be at Jackson High School. Tickets are $15.00 at the door, and your support will be greatly appreciated. At the end of the Sunday show, we will present Mrs. Craven with everyone’s cards and notes, along with other gifts.

Thank you in advance; looking forward to an outpouring of thanks and gratitude for Mrs. Craven.

Worth a peak. Stimulating more of the mind is a good thing for our children. Our experience at Craven Dance is that dance elevates the mind, the heart, and the spirit. Why else would we have been doing this for over 80 years!

Dance — and physical activity — should have the same status in schools as math, science and language. Psst: it may even help raise test scores, says Sir Ken Robinson.

Dancing, of any kind, combines physical exercise with the positive power of music and social engagement to yield major mental health and brain benefits.
