When my daughter was three years old, Miss Trish was her very first teacher at SMSD. Miss Trish's enthusiasm and warmth first sparked my daughter's love of dance. She was delighted to gallop around the studio on a stick horse and perform her "criss cross applesauce" routine. Now, at 13, Marlee is a member of the SMSD Dance Troupe and takes ballet, jazz and tap very seriously. SMSD provides an environment that teaches proper technique in a nurturing setting. The classes and Troupe activities provide hours of entertainment and learning, and Marlee is developing into a beautiful dancer.

Thank you, Edwina and the entire SMSD staff, for sharing your dedication to dance.
