Congratulations Brenna Weick
Miss New Jersey's Outstanding Teen 2009  

Miss NJ Teen      This past January Brenna Weick, a TSDC student, was crowned the new Miss New Jersey Outstanding Teen.

       She will now compete in the national pageant in Orlando, Florida.  Brenna won the preliminary awards in evening wear and fitness. 

      She performed a stirring dance to the song, "I Run For Life" which invokes Brenna's platform of cancer awareness. This pageant is the sister to the Miss America Program.  We are very proud of Brenna and wish her the best of luck during her exciting year.
 
 
It's a TSDC Repeat....
Miss NJ Outstanding Teen 2008  AND  2009  

Miss NJ Outstanding Queens TSDC      For the past year our student Katie Nicole held the title of Miss NJ Outstanding Teen.  Katie won the state title and then went on to compete for the National title in Orlando last August. 

     She had a wonderful year representing New Jersey and promoting her literacy program.  Katie had the honor to crown the new winner of the Miss NJ Outstanding Teen Pageant this past January.  It was a such a thrill for everyone at TSDC to have Katie crown another talented TSDC dancer, Brenna Weick.  Best of luck to Katie and thank you for an amazing year.

Dance Company Showcase to perform at the          Broadway  Theatre of Pitman
 
Pitman Theater     The Tricia Sloan Dance Company will present their annual performance at the historic Broadway Theatre in Pitman, NJ on Sunday May 31st.   The members of the TSDC Dance Company have been working all year perfecting exciting dance numbers and several solo, duos and trios for family and friends to enjoy.
 
     The Senior dancers have had the good fortune to learn a new production number from a professional dancer, Colby Lindeman.  Colby has been working with the dancers in between his own performances in NYC which includes the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in various cities across the USA.
 
     We always urge our parents to bring their young students at TSDC to come out and be inspired by our Dance Company members who love to perform. 
 
Chorus Line Workshop with Gabrielle Ruiz at TSDC
Chorus Line Ruiz
This past December, students at TSDC were treated to a Master Class in musical theater by our friend, Gabrielle Ruiz.  Gabrielle is currently on tour with the first National Touring Company of the Broadway musical, A Chours Line.  Gabrielle plays the role of Diana Morales.  During the two hour class the students learned original choreography from the show that was amazing and challenging.  Then Gabrielle conducted a question and answer session that the dancers really enjoyed.  Gabrielle shared many valuable lessons and behind the scenes stories.  We look forward to having Gabrielle return to TSDC in the near future.
