For the second consecutive year, Southern Dance Theatre has been selected for the 2011 Best of Boynton Beach Award in the Dance Studio & School Category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA). Nationwide, only 1.4% of 2011 Award recipients qualified as Two-Time Award Winners. The USCA “Best of Local Business” Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies they believe have achieved exceptional success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.
We’re excited to announce this season’s “Bring a Friend to Class” program which will take place the weeks of September 12th and September 19th. Instructors will provide details and class passes to students. Contact our office for more information.
We received these kind words and wanted to share them. It’s never too late to learn to dance!

Dear Penni,
I’ve been procrastinating long enough and finally decided to sit down and drop you a note to tell you formally that my tap class days are over, and to say “thank you” for teaching me to tap dance. I loved every minute of my classes with you, had such fun, and learned so much.
It seems like yesterday when I first started but it was a long time ago. Just realizing that I am 76 and not a “mere” 66 is enough to give me the shivers. Where did all the time go? At the start of classes almost every year, a young girl would ask me if I remembered her sister who was in my class last year or two before. The sister was now either in college or married with children. I got a kick out of those kids who mentioned me in their homes. Me, in their dance class, the grandma who taps.
Please think of me if you ever develop an all adult class, or if something else comes up which may interest me. Who knows, I may be back!
In the meantime, continued good luck to you and all your students. I know all the kids are getting professional training and you should be very proud of yourself for helping develop wonderful dancers.
Check out the talented Southern Dance Theatre alumni, Mileyka Mateo, performing on Dancing with the Stars. Mileyka will be guest teaching during the month of August. Any alumnae who wish to attend class pay only $5 per class: Advanced Jazz: Mondays 6-7:30pm and Wednesday Intermediate Jazz 6-7:30pm.
