PDC 2012-2013

This year has been amazing!! Where do I even begin? As a company we have had SO many wonderful opportunities and experiences that have helped us grow both individually and as a team. To start off the year we had our retreat which brought all the girls together and made so many friendships. We then had the opportunity of being in the homecoming football game halftime show, which we collaborated with drill team, cheer, and ballroom to make an awesome performance! The next month we attended the Shakespeare festival in cedar city... we competed and took master classes and supported teams from all across Utah! Our winter concert... which was full of student and professional choreography. STATE. Such an awesome experience. We took two dances to be adjudicated. There were incredible classes taught by professional dancers, and scholarship opportunities etc. Some of the team was able to go to Las Vegas and attend cirque du solei performances and visit the bodies exhibit. And to kick of the year we finished it out with our spring concert. This year has taught me so much! Even though difficult at times... so worth it! I love my dance family so much and I will never forget what this year has taught me and how much ive leaned. Love You ALL!

This year acording to Jessica Jensen
   This year was amazing! I learned so much and made so many good memories and good friends!  This year started out amazing at the dance camp in august I loved working out with all the amazing ladies on dance company we really bonded while we were running our guts out down by the pond!  After the school year started we had a great time learning dances for half times learning the homecoming dance and doing fundraisers at the different school events.  One of my favorite times on dance company was definantly the shaksepeare festival.  I learned so much and loved preparing the dances for it.  I learned that you need to think abaout the audience and the people watching or judging so that it keeps the audience interested.  I loved taking all the different classes by the different instructors they taught me so much!  Our winter concert was so fun and I enjoyed all of the dances I was in so much even though we had a little drama it was so fun and I loved having it with all the girls! Next came state... even though I broke my toes it was an amazing experience The classes were amazing and I learned so much! At state I learned the importance of preparation so many of the schools were really prepared and I was really impressed and it helped me be more motivated to try harder and work harder!  Last but not least was our spring concert! we had a party in every second of the concert process...man I love dance company so much! the ladies on it are so amazing and so talented and I am so lucky to get to know them and dance with them they have become my best friends and lets not forget to mention krista! Krista has taught me so much and I have loved learning from her! The biggest thing I think I learned this year was Hard Work!  I am so gratful for the wonderful opertunity to work with this amazing company! I love all you ladies!

PDC Memories :)

  I've learned sooo much this past year, being on PDC.  I've learned so much and have become so much more comfortable doing improv and working with groups.  I've become best friends with all of the girls on the team and love them all dearly!  PDC has been an amazing experience for me.  I've loved all of the amazing opportunities like Shakespeare festival, Social retreats, State, field trips, dancing with Cirque du Soleil and many more.  I have grown as a dancer and choreographer more than I ever have.  My views on dancing have changed for the better:)  I've gotten to meet so many new people and work on my leadership and social skills as well.  The girls on the team have become my best friends and I'm so glad that I had the privilege to dance with them.  The whole experience has been so amazing and I cannot wait till next year!!
     Much love,

What I learned from PDC...

I absolutely loved being on PDC this year! Honestly we have created the best memories, done some of the most amazing things, danced with some of the best people, and accomplished so much as a team! Dance Company is an outlet for me to express myself and it has helped me create my own style of dancing. It has been a safe and comforting place to be creative and to be myself. I have learned that you don't have to just dance a specific style, you can dance anyway you want. I have grown so much as a dancer because I am able to not just do the movement but feel it and dance it my own way.  I'm so grateful for all of the dances I have been in because each was a new experience to put myself into the piece and it has helped me become a better dancer. Dance Company is the best decision I made this year and I'm so grateful for everything I have learned as far as dancing techniques and different styles of dancing but I am also so grateful for what I've learned about being on a team. Even though we had some rough mornings and nights getting up early or staying late at the school practicing (especially during concert week) we always somehow made a party out of it and worked hard and pulled through together. I have made the best friends this year, they all mean the world to me! They inspire me every day to be better and work harder and I love all of the inside jokes and memories we have made this year! I'm going to miss Kalli, Ash, and Nat so much. I don't want to see them leave. This really has been such an amazing year and I'm excited for next year and hope it is just as amazing!
