Dancing Holiday Magic PROGRAM
Special Thanks
On behalf of the entire Tiffany’s Dance Academy team, we would like to thank you for your support and welcome you to our annual production of Dancing Holiday Magic!
I’d like to give special thanks to Robbie Teruya, our Director of Everything, who will be retiring after 20 years at TDA. Take five, Robbie and Alan! You’ve earned it.
Thank you, Cesar Degollado, whose persistence, knowledge and love of ballet is what allows us to become better and better each season, despite overwhelming obstacles.
To our heroic instructors who came to us during and immediately after the pandemic. You are all fearless warriors. Words can’t express our gratitude for you, or your importance in helping children and their families recover from the fear and isolation caused by Covid. What you have done may not be fully recognized for years, or even decades. You’re making an enormous difference in the lives of children. There is no more noble a pursuit. Thank you.
Miss Alida, and Miss Elaine; your dedication to the administration of TDA is truly remarkable. We appreciate your skill, expertise, hard work and devotion. Without you, nobody would be in this theater today!
Finally, thank you to all of our dancers and their families. Having just sent our son, Jack Henderson to Hubbard Street Dance Company in Chicago in July, and our youngest to college last year (hint: studying dance is a good way to gain acceptance to UC Santa Barbara 😁), I can tell all you parents of younger dancers that the time your kids spend in the studio is never wasted. They are learning to be dependable, and how to work hard. They are forming new and amazing pathways in their brains that help them learn quickly and remember what they learn. They are socializing away from their devices and social media, which has proven to be especially dangerous for female teens’ mental health. The time they spend in the studio with their friends and instructors is more important and more precious than you can imagine, and you won’t fully realize this importance until they are young adults.
We know how hard it is to bring your kids to dance day after day, week after week, year after year. But, I promise you, it pays off in ways you won’t fully understand until they graduate high school, get accepted to their #1 college and head out on their own, as caring, artistic, smart, well-adjusted, and capable young adults. Thank you for entrusting us with the most precious people in your lives. We do not take our responsibility lightly.
From our family to yours,
Happy Holidays
Paul, Tiffany, Jack, Halle, Koda and Henry Henderson
