Meet the Dancers: Ludlow Ladies

Brea shakes it during "Fa La La"

I have worked with the "Ludlow Ladies" for several years. I first met Brea when she was 5. It was my first year teaching dance and she brought a ray of sunshine with her to every class. My sister, Cassidy, teaches Brea now and knows how fun it is to work with someone to is 100% herself all the time. "You never know how Brea is going to show up to class," Cass said, "She could be crazy, happy, silly, sad, anything. And really that's the fun of working with her." Brea is 8 years old now. She loves playing with friends, listening to her iPod, singing, and dancing.  She is a very special girl and loves everyone. Brea loves to perform and really puts on a show when she's on stage!

Brooklynn performs "Good Time"

Working with Brea, I met her family and came to love the people who help Brea be Brea everyday. Little did I know, that one day I would get to teach her older sister, Brooklynn, who I fondly refer to as my "Sanity Girl," she truly keeps me sane some days. She's only 11 years old, but I swear she is going on 18- and that we could be best friends in another life. After a long day in the studio, Brooklynn always brings me back to reality with her sassy and positive personality. She reminds me of what is truly important- having fun! Brooklynn's hobbies include dancing, hanging out with friends, roller skating, and most of all READING!!  She is a great big sister and loves to baby-sit her siblings and kids around the neighborhood.  She gets good grades and is looking forward to middle school.
Brea and Brooklynn are so unique but some things they share are beautiful smiles and gracious attitudes. Dancers who practice hard and perform without holding back, like the "Ludlow Ladies," are headed for success. Three cheers for two of my favorite students!

Ready for the recital!
