For 12 years - dancers have taken to the Temple Theatre stage representing all of us at Encore Dance Company and last night was another amazing show. I’m so proud of our dancers and all of the work that they put in throughout the year. I’m so grateful to be supported by the best dance families and the best community each and every year. Huge thanks to the folks behind the scenes who always make our vision come to life each year. I’m blessed with the best family at home and the best mom backstage who continues to support my dream that she helped spark so many years ago (even if we never manage to capture the best NeNe Betsy Brown in a photo). From the bottom of my heart - thank you to the whole staff including the amazing Shonda Nowell Nance for handling all of our Encore photography needs and Shonda and Ashley Lance Gayden for our everyday social media maintenance. Thanks to Christine Campbell Webster for the light work during dress rehearsal and recital, the wonderful security team, and Jonathan McGowan for taking care of our videography again this year. We rocked the stage from start to finish last night and now we have a week of rest before we kickoff summer classes. Love - Ms. Jonah
