Guest Artist Maddie’s Double Platinum

My neice Maddie’s most recent performance from a national competition entry.  My family’s business, Caruthers’ Creative Center Dance Studio in Missouri, is one of the few African American owned businesses in the area that has stood the test of time. Congrats Maddie on your double platinum as well as the Competitive & Photogenic Award and 11th overall out of 80 dancers! Tough competition!

This multitalented teen was also nominated for All American in Cheer leading and made varsity squad as well as the competition team as an incoming freshman.  In addition, she excels at tumbling.  She has won numerous state band awards as well and is currently the only female trombone player.  She has recently had a dance gig with Kaufman Center and to top it off, she does all of this while maintaining a 4.0 G.P.A along with winning many academic accolades, including the President’s Academic Award.  She is an inspiration to those around her and a great influence on teens internationally.  Great job Maddie and keep it going!

Ballerinas in the Making

Practice, Practice, Practice!

I have often thought how much strength it takes to dance so beautifully with such grace.  It is grueling to submit your body to what is required in order to bring the beauty to this art form.  Excited to be embarking on a wonderful journey, teaching not just dance, but also about not giving up even though sometimes life gets hard.  Anything worth having takes work and commitment.

Thank you my beautiful ballerinas in the making for your inspiration and enthusiasm.  What a blessing you all are!
