Providing Sound Ballet Training and Valuable Theatrical Experience
Yes, I am a mom of three boys. I can name all of the Thomas the Tank Engines, dinosaurs, and Marvel Characters. I have played in mud, climbed trees, collected bugs, attended hundreds of football games (pee wee, midget, mites, middle school, high school, and college) and built lots of fires. By being a ballet […]
Preparation for Princess Camp starts way before the little girls arrive. Decorations were purchased a year ago, supplies ordered a month ago, and craft ideas saved on Pinterest throughout the year. All of this leads to this day…the day when I see little princesses come through the door and follow the music. I could not […]

Governor’s School East Experience by: Macon Carroll Governor’s School, contrary to popular belief, is not where one learns how to become a governor, though current governor Roy Cooper did visit campus to meet everyone. Rather, it is a five-and-a-half-week program where students from around the state, studying various subjects, intermingle, live alongside each other, and […]
It is the night before my new ballet year begins and I am filled with excitement thinking about the new little faces I will see tomorrow. I wonder if they have tried on their ballet shoes and pranced on their floors? I wonder about the feelings of mom and dad as they look at those […]
Monday morning brought in a new set of ballerinas (and prince) as well as returning assistants and new ones! Let the fun begin! Dancers quickly set into playing with their new friends with puzzles and play dough. After an introduction the dancers got to choose their “Big sister” for the week. Big sisters are a […]
Friday we celebrated a wonderful week of camp with our sweet “Princess Ball” which is our showcase for the dancer’s family and friends. We had Rapunzel visit my morning campers and Ariel visited my evening campers. We were so fortunate that these princesses took time out of their busy princess schedules to sing to our […]
