One of our core values at Liberty Dance Center is giving back to our community. We love to do so in a variety of ways. These past few weeks we have had a few different opportunities for connection with our community!
First up, our Performing Company! A few weeks ago they all got together at Liberty Dance Center and Miss Deanna (with the help of her husband) threw such a fun team bonding/season kick off party for the team. Getting to see our students get to know each other and enjoy each other’s company outside the dance studios is so special. They ate, played TONS of fun games outside and of course…danced! And then on Labor Day, they got to do their first performance of the season. They entertained the crowd at the Lake Country DockHounds professional baseball game. They did awesome as always!
You may have seen our next new addition to the Liberty Dance Center grounds…a new, custom made Little Free Library! If you danced with us at our original location, you may remember that we had one there (my mom’s!). We believe that “leaders are readers” and so being able to have books for our students and their families is such a great treat. This very special Little Free Library was the creation of 3 of our students, Ania, Natalie and Nora (along with Ania’s sister). They designed it, built it and installed it. It’s definitely getting used…and that makes us so happy.
Lastly, ice cream!! Last week our friends at Sweet Abilities came everyday with their ice cream truck. What a sweet treat during that very HOT week. We saw so many families enjoying the delicious treats. We love Sweet Abilities’ mission: Provide meaningful, community-based job opportunities and work experiences for individuals with diverse abilities. Thank you, thank you Kristen and the Sweet Abilities team! Hopefully, this is a new tradition!
We have more community events coming up throughout the year. These big examples are wonderful, but we do also notice the small ones that happen daily in our studio walls. That’s one of the things that makes us so proud. We LOVE our community at Liberty Dance Center. Thank you to all of you for making it so special!
