Dear Dance Collective Families, Friends, and Supporters,
As we reflect on this incredible year, our hearts are full of gratitude for all we’ve achieved together. It’s been a year of growth, inspiration, and community, and we owe it all to your unwavering support.
This season, we had the privilege of welcoming 15 masterclass teachers, including 4 brand-new instructors who brought amazing energy and invaluable expertise to our studio. Our trip to NYC was another highlight, where 8 masterclass teachers, 3 of whom were new to us, inspired and challenged our dancers in ways we’ll never forget.
We also celebrated a remarkable showing at Nationals, earning three 1st-place awards while receiving incredible praise—not just for our talent, but for the kindness and sportsmanship our dancers showed to every other group. This is the kind of success that makes us proud beyond measure.
Our studio continues to grow! This term, we welcomed 241 students, including over 75 new dancers since our last recital. Your enthusiasm and dedication make our Dance Collective family stronger every day.
This year, we also said goodbye to a beloved member of our family, Donna. Her passion, love, and generosity left a lasting legacy that we are committed to honoring. Donna was a staunch supporter of the Barbara Weiner Scholarship Fund, donating $5,000 for the last 2 years to ensure that children in need could experience the joy of dance.
We’re determined to continue Donna’s legacy. With your help, the Barbara Weiner Scholarship Fund will keep providing opportunities for families in need. If you feel inspired to contribute, you can:
• Send a donation via Venmo to @Allyson-Weiner-Sawyer (please include “Barbara Weiner Scholarship Fund” in the comment), or
• Mail a check to The Dance Collective, 1 Glen Road Plaza, West Lebanon, NH 03784.
There is absolutely no pressure to give—your support in any form means the world to us. Together, we can ensure that every child who dreams of dancing has the opportunity to do so.
Thank you for being an integral part of our Dance Collective family. With your love and support, we can continue to thrive, inspire, and uplift children in our community.
With heartfelt gratitude,
Allyson Weiner-Sawyer
The Dance Collective
