Our July 2009 issue marks 30 years of Dance Teacher magazine, and we’re excited for it to reach your mailboxes so that you can enjoy all it has to offer. However, we’re not the only ones celebrating anniversaries this summer.
Lynn & Jen’s Dance Studio in Arlington, Massachusetts, is celebrating a decade of business. Co-owners Lynn Moniz and Jennifer (Wesley) Corbett have known each other their entire lives and enjoy being a part of so many children’s now.
Also celebrating 10 years is the Universal Performing Arts Center of Port Charlotte, Florida. Andrea and Tony Donza remain clear on their mission: the highest standard of education for children and young adults. Students at this studio must maintain a 3.0 GPA in school to be eligible to dance.
But Bruckman’s School of Dance in McCandless, Pennslyvania, takes the cake. Charles “Chick” Bruckman, and his wife, Elda Mae Bruckman, held their school’s 60th annual recital last weekend. And that’s not the only anniversary they’re celebrating—June also marks their 55th wedding anniversary.
