While the idea for Dancers Anonymous was born in the summer of 2006, the beginnings of it actually coming to life did not begin until the fall of 2010. I (Courtney Richmond: Founder/Owner) began to dream, and dream big! As a dancer during high school, my dream was to be performing for the rest of my life, but it is apparent that God had other plans for me. Instead, He decided that my influence was best left to teaching. While it has been an effort to accept this, I have done so, and I am so excited about where this is going.
The dance family that I have gained from Las Cruces High School Performing Dance is one that will forever be a part of who I am, and because it is a part of me, it will now be a part of my studio as well! If you're going to have a studio, you have to have teachers, and if I'm going to have teachers, I'm going to need teachers that love dance just as much as I do if not more. So I began asking dancers from my dance family that is ever growing, and who I have spent the last eight years of my life dancing with. They each will have a chance to introduce themselves soon!
This summer is going to be the real beginning to what I hope is a life changing experience. Dancers Anonymous has begun to take shape and we are going to be offering classes during the summer in Las Cruces, NM. We will be dancing at the New Mexico State University (NMSU) Activity Center on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 4-5:30 starting June 2, 2011 and running until July 28, 2011. Classes will be $5, but a whole month is only $20! Payment will be due at the beginning of classes! This is really amazing, and I'm so excited to see how God blesses this summer, and the classes. For more information, feel free to contact us at dancers.anonymous@hotmail.com. I hope to see you guys soon!!
Courtney Richmond
My name is Courtney and I've been dancing since 2001. I'm 22 years old and have the most unbelievable passion for teaching dance. I believe that everyone should feel good about themselves and that everyone should have the opportunity to dance. Dance made me love myself, and I believe it has the power to change people's lives. Dancers Anonymous has been my dream since the idea began and it is important to me to see this dream fulfilled. Kids are the key to the future, and I believe my job (as a teacher) is to teach them how to unlock the best future, no matter if it is in dance or whatever else life inspires them to be. Let the fun begin!
