Some things are best kept private, but milestone birthdays for long-time DancEd instructors is not one of them!!! In the summer of 1999 we hired Ms. Kate out of college to be one of our YEAR FIVE (!!!) dance teachers at the rapidly growing DancEd Dance Centre. Today she turns 50 years, a fact that is both incredible and mind-blowing to all of us. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MS. KATE, we love you and hope you have a wonderful day!!!

Each year DancEd showcases 2 versions of the same story ballet with different casts. A few days ago we created a cool time lapse video taken from a catwalk in Show 2 of our 2026 recitals. Today we created a NEW time lapse video taken from the stage during Show 1, it's different but equally awesome. We have more to say in the comments, ENJOY!!!

We've been thinking about the Ballet Show 2 time lapse video & had an idea. We'll work on it & share to FB later today, here's a hint...

We have a fun new video to share, a time lapse of the Show #2 story ballet. Many years ago we had this idea and we thought it was time to do it again, so we ran a wideangle camera up to the catwalk at the NSCPA and sped the entire ballet up around 10x to fit into one song. This is the same song we used years ago because we think it's beautiful and can't improve on it. DancEd Dancers, we've loved you all our lives. ENJOY!!!

Full disclosure time. Over the past week anyone at DancEd who would post recital pics has been on a much anticipated family trip. That vacation culminated tonight with Ms. Tracy making a surprise appearance at a 50 Year Anniversary Alumni Party at the dance studio where she grew up - Pinnell Dance Centre in Columbus, Ohio. We've shared photos of Tracy with Jeri here before, but trust us when we say that Jeri Pinnell changed Tracy's life growing up - And by extension, many of your lives too. CONGRATULATIONS ON 50 YEARS JERI, YOU LOOK AMAZING!!!

Day #2 of 2026 DancEd Recital Shows happened Saturday, 5/16. A few hours later, it was 2026 GBN Prom for 4 lifelong DancEd Graduating Seniors. THIS IS THE KIND OF UNBRIDLED ENTHUSIASM THAT MAKE DancEd DANCERS SPECIAL!!! As a wise DancEd Mom wrote to us, "Recitals are over, but the Finale Dance is forever!" Truer words never spoken...!!!
