Philosophy Behind our Student of the Month Program

The Student of the Month is chosen by the student body. This decision was made because we want to encourage dancers to look for the good qualities in others. We want our studio to be a positive, uplifting environment where dancers go to work their hardest and are inspired by others also doing their best.  This program not only requires students to look for the positive in others but gives them a goal and another reason to dance and behave to their potential. This will NOT be a popularity contest. Staff will have the final say in all who receive the award, but a student will not be chosen who has not been nominated (unless, for some reason, no one at all was nominated).

If you could read the nomination cards, you would have a complete understanding of the reason and goals behind this program. Because students have to nominate for a specific reason (not just “I like her”), they have to truly see something good in another person, whether or not that has anything to do with the actual dancing is their choice. R&C couldn’t be prouder of what our students are choosing to see in each other. They are definitely a community who supports, not tears down…..no matter the level of dance technique of each individual
