❤️❤️❤️ Courtney and her family have been part of our dance family for over 25 years! So blessed. 🥰

Courtney was quite literally my first student that started at age 4 and attended all the way until she graduated high school! Seeing her grow up at the studio and become this amazing individual has been a great honor. Thanks for sharing your experience ❤️❤️

“I began taking dance lessons at Dance 10 (Now RISE) when I was 4 years old and continued until I graduated high school; it was a huge part of my life and upbringing. The friendships I had made, the life lessons, and the creative outlet it brought me made me who I am today and I will be forever grateful for Tara and our entire Dance 10 crew.

Currently, I am beginning my career as a Physical Therapist Assistant, mainly working with athletes and sports injuries. With my experience as a dancer and an 11 year career as a Licensed Massage Therapist, I have a set foundation for this new path I’m taking and I am so excited!

I will cherish all of the memories and friendships I have made at Dance 10 and hope my future kids get to have the same experiences I did ❤️” -Courtney Moody

So proud! 🥰

Many of our alumni go on to many different careers! Christy is one who happened to use her experience as a dancer and make a career out of it! We are so proud of all of her accomplishments!

Christy lives in Boston and is a 2009 Dance 10 (Rise) alumni. She is a professional modern/contemporary dancer and choreographer with experience performing throughout the US and in London. She received her BFA in Dance and BS in Exercise Physiology from SUNY Brockport and works as a comprehensively certified Pilates instructor and Exercise Physiologist. As of Spring 2021, Christy is working towards her doctorate in Sport and Performance Psychology to continue working with dancers and athletes on excellence in performance, overcoming barriers, and mental health.

“Tara and the team at Dance 10 (Rise) gave me the technical skills, drive, and confidence to pursue a career as a dancer. The safe and supportive environment not only nurtured my individuality but challenged me to be my best for myself and my team. Tara not only trains talented dancers but teaches the values to be truly resilient and incredible human beings. The experience on the competition team brought me out of my shell, gave me invaluable friendships, and taught me self discipline. Dance 10 (Rise) was my family and I am eternally grateful for the impact it’s had on my character, my work ethic, and my career.” - Christy Benincasa

Yet another alumni - Alicia Roscup was one of my FIRST students! So proud of her accomplishments, and excited for her journey with her little future dancer 😉….

“To say that dance has impacted my life would be an understatement. Thanks to Tara, her staff, and their desire to help others grow in more than just the art, dance has aided in growing me into the person I am today.

I began taking recreational classes in second grade when RISE PAC was known as On Track Family Fitness Dance and just recently retired in 2020. During those 25 years I progressed from recreational classes to competitive then became an assistant and eventually a teacher. I even ran a summer dance program using what I learned! Throughout that time, I was taught how to value myself and hard work over a trophy or ribbon. I learned how to be gracious, humble, kind, and that words can never be taken back. I not only learned these valuable life lessons, but also made life-long friendships. Friends made during my time with the company have become like family as we attend one anothers' weddings, celebrate the birth of children, weep with one another during hardship, and spend time together regularly.

Today, I teach fourth grade at a local elementary school, am married to a wonderful husband, and recently welcomed our first child into the world. I used to hope and pray that I was able to instill even an ounce of what I learned through dance into my dance and school students, but now I hope I can exemplify those characteristics to my own daughter. Thank you Tara, Cody, and all the staff of RISE PAC for not only helping me to grow as a person and standing by my side all those years, but for doing the same for countless others!”- Alicia Roscup
