The Dance Place is thrilled to welcome Carmen Boyce to our exceptional roster of teachers. Carmen, a most personable teacher, is a recent Triple Threat Graduate of the Randolph Academy for the Performing Arts. Originally from Campbell River, British Columbia, she started performing as a very young child in competitive gymnastics. After becoming Western Canada Champion on the balance beam at the tender age of 12, she decided to extend her love of physical activity with Dance. Carmen started her Dance career in Jazz, but soon realized that she wanted to try more, eventually adding Ballet, Hip Hop, Lyrical, Modern, Musical Theatre and Tap. She is extremely excited to begin working with these young performers, sharing with them the love for Dance that she so strongly has. PRESS RELEASE for immediate publication Why Tumbling? The Dance Place is pleased to announce a new Tumbling program by award-winning gymnast ‘Carmen Boyce’ Today’s dancers are required to extend the use of their bodies increasing their range of movement, especially in Jazz, Acrobatic and Hip Hop dancing. Developing tumbling skills is essential for all dance students working at or above the Elementary 2 level. Tumbling is recommended as an enrichment, not a replacement for dance training. Ideal for those students seeking improvement in learning and incorporating gymnastic tricks, such as aerials, forward, backward hand springs and flips, into their dancing. TESTIMONIALS - Since June 2008 Dear Melissa S. Although I am glad that summer is here, I am sad that it means dance is over. You have no idea of the inspiration you were to my daughter. She started dance like any other kid, in local city funded programs. She grew to love it so much that I put her in a more professional studio. She hated it so much I had to let her quit. It took a lot of convincing but she finally agreed to try again. I lucked out! She now loves dance again like she should. I know it’s because of your great teaching and mentor ship. I hope that she is able to find you again in September. ~Parent of Junior Recreational student~ Dear Jacque The recital was so amazing this year. The timing, lighting, and choreography were wonderful. The placement of the competitive dancers was perfect. WELL DONE ! Thank-you for a wonderful year for Kelly, Carol Dear Jacque Thank-you once again for a successful dance season at the Dance Place. We appreciate your attention to detail, discipline and the traditional under pinnings of dance, while allowing each child's spirit to shine through as they move. Kate is eagerly anticipating next year. Sincerely Debbie Dear Staff of the Dance Place I will be leaving shortly for a year of study in Israel. I know this is hardly the end, but I wanted to give all of you and EXTRA BIG THANK YOU for 13 amazing years of dance. Over the years I have grown, not only as a dancer, but also as a person. Thank you for the countless lessons in Ballet, Tap and life. Forever grateful and always your student, with Love, Rebeca |
