Recital week means it’s Senior Spotlight time! First up: Claire O’Keefe. From her first day of dance class Claire’s aptitude, passion & talent were very evident. She has always been an incredible joy to have in class, setting a high standard for herself while encouraging and inspiring others. We will miss watching her shine on stage with her stunning technique ✨
We have been so lucky to have Claire as an assistant and teacher for the past few years and her budding enthusiasm for children and teaching is exciting to see! She will be majoring in Elementary Education at Roger Williams University and we couldn’t think of a better career path for Miss Claire as she is such a natural role model & caring leader! Her teachers will miss her steady, calm, and endlessly positive presence in the classroom. She has an unshakable work ethic that we know will take her far in life! Best of luck to you Claire, we are so proud of you & know you will always have a home at the DKDS! 🩵🤍🖤
