Sara Becker's Testimonial
Sara BeckerGO! Dance ROCKS!

We originally enrolled Sara  in GO! Dance three years ago to get her out of her shell.
She is a very spunky & sweet child but nobody ever got to see that side of her. She was so painfully shy around EVERYONE else! She had a rough start, but Mrs. Stephanie had her participating quickly and even talked us into the recital that first year! Sara was incredible! She slowly became comfortable being on stage and performing! That confidence carried over to her daily activities. We have always known Sara's spirit and personality but now she is able to share that with the rest of the world! Thank you Mrs. Stephanie! Sara loves you so much! Your beautiful smile makes everyone want to smile back at you each day! Thanks for loving our babies!

GO! Dance has been a very rewarding and positive part of our lives! The recitals are the best shows on earth! I am not sure how you get all those girls(especially the babies) to perform so flawless!!!! It is always the highlight of our year!

We love you so much!

Thanks again,
The Entire Becker Family
Cynthia, Sara, Charles, Kevin, Hayley & Ryan

Sell Your Old Recital Costumes
Kaydance Sutherland 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 - Kelly Long
Kelly LongHi, I'm Kelly Long.  I teach the Monday gym I & II classes, flip flop workshop and mommy & me gymnastics.  This is my first year with GO! Dance and Gymnastics Studio and I am loving every minute of it!  A little bit about me: I started taking gymnastics classes when I was 4 years old and went on to compete until the age of 11 when I switched to tumbling/cheerleading. I did competitive cheer until I joined the Ennis High School cheer squad and remained there throughout High School.  After EHS, I left Ennis (and cheerleading) for a while to go and get my degree in Speech-Language Pathology from the University of Texas at Austin.  I work full time at Hillsboro ISD as an SLPA and decided my life was still missing something. Then I found GO! Dance and everything was perfect!  I love working here and all of the students and staff members.  If you see me around, don't forget to say hi!
