From Pink Tutus To Character Shoes - Katia's Perspective

​It all started way back in 2006 when my mom registered me for my first ever ballet class I was three years old being very young I didn't know where I was or why I was wearing a pink tutu but I knew what I was there for I was there for doing what I loved to do DANCE. 
​
RDC is very close to my heart I've been dancing at Royal Dance Conservatory almost 11 years now. I've taken ballet, tap, jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, and my very favorite Havana. I've seen students and teachers come and go but one always stayed with us, Miss Nicole. Now the studio owner/director, she's the best dance teacher and friend anyone could ask for she's seen me and my other dance friends at our best and at our worst yet she's never given up on us dancing. 

At Royal Dance Conservatory is not just learning how to dance it's an experience your teacher isn't just your teacher your dance friends aren't just your dance friends. You all become family and RDC becomes your home, your safe place, your happy place, where you don't feel like every one is against you, you feel welcome. When you walk through the front doors of the studio you know your home. When I dance I can leave what ever is bothering me on the dance floor I truly know why are slogan is "dance to express not to impress”.

There's no better feeling than feeling like you've killed a routine your teacher hand choreographed for you although is dance is fun Royal Dance Conservatory is a really great place to learn how you are and what you want to become as a dancer. All the teachers at Royal Dance Conservatory are not only supportive and caring but they encourage you to step outside your comfort zone, to break from your shell and to be your own dancer and to dance to the best of you ability and not to compare your self to anyone but yourself because you are the best dancer you could. 

There's not one night I want to go home after dance class because I love Royal Dance Conservatory so much be no matter how old I grow or how many memories I loose I will never forget RDC it has a very special place in my heart. I’m very happy my mom chose to put her little dancer at Royal Dance Conservatory. I'm very proud to tell all my friends and family that I'm apart of the Royal Dance Conservatory family.
