Stovall & SSR in VegasThis summer our staff went to Las Vegas to take continuing education in the field of Dance, Musical Theater and Business.  Our staff works hard to make sure we are always on the top of our game to ensure our students are learning the newest and best technique. 

 

Skylar  Williams's Testimonial
Skylar at DDCWe love GO! Dance because they offer a variety of classes for all different age groups. We especially love competition cheer! The instructors are great, and we get to go to fun competitions!  Last year Skylar met the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders at the DCC National Cheer Competition held at Cowboys Stadium!

We love GO! Dance!!!

Student Appreciation Day
Student Appreciation Day 2011July 23, 2011 was our annual Student Appreciation Day Lock-In.  We had a great time watching the premier of our 2011 Recital DVD, eating pizza, and playing games for GREAT prizes.  Samantha Driver was the big winner of the night, using her expertise at Heads & Tails to win a new DIGITAL CAMERA!! 

Way to go SAMANTHA!!!!

Sale Your Old Recital Costumes
Ghostbusters Hip Hop
Primary Hip Hop - Ghostbusters
Do you have old recital costumes that you have no use for anymore?  Now you can sell them at our first Annual Costume Sale!!

During the Ennis Fall Festival (Oct. 15th) GO! Dance will have a booth where we will host an old recital costume sale, just in time for Halloween.

The program will work just like our consignment program.  Bring your CLEANED recital costume, and all its related parts, to the studio.  Label your costume with your name and the price you think we can sell it for(I'm thinking $10-$15).  If your costume sales we will post half of the amount to your account as a credit and the other half will go to the studio for selling it for you.

Costume turn in deadline is October 13th, but you can start bringing them now so we don't have a mad rush the day before fall festival.

 

Meet Our Staff
Ms. StephanieI am Stephanie Reese, the Director of GO! Dance & Gymnastics Studios.  I was an Ennis High School Cheerleader (3 yrs), Navarro College ShowStopper (2 yrs) Officer (1 yr) where I competed in two Collegiate National Championships placing 3rd and 8th.  I then went on to SMU where I graduated with a degree in Engineering while cheering for the Dallas Cowboys(4 yrs).  While with the DCC I traveled to 22 different countries on 6 USO Military Tour and 4 calender shoots.  I have also been in Nike Commercials and on Entertainment Tonight, Jay Leno, David Letterman and best of ALL Saturday Night Live as the perfect cheerleader for the Spartan Cheerleaders (Sheri O'Teri & Will Ferrell).  I have also had the honor of receiving the Bob Hope Entertainment Award with all my fellow DCC sisters, plus many more.... but I am too old to remember, I have to go look at scrapbooks....  Ha Ha!!

My husband, Alan Reese (Edward Jones Broker in Midlothian) have been married for 9 years and we have two beautiful daughters Parker (6 yrs) and Brinkley (4 yrs) who are always running around the studio (hopefully not getting in trouble!)
