What dance means to Sophia, in her own words…
“Everything! It is something I love to do and want to do my whole life.”
Sophia, this is what your teachers shared about you…
Miss Ann Marie: “Sophia began taking lessons here at AMA back when we first opened our doors. Sophia is definitely in the top 5 students I have ever taught with the most heart for dance. Her drive is admirable and a great example to all our students here at AMA Dance & Music School! Sophia is always diligent with practice and never hesitates to help a classmate. We are very proud of the talented dancer Sophia has become and the responsible young lady she is!”
Miss Amy C.: “Sophia is one of my most dedicated dancers! She comes to class each week well-prepared and ready to learn. Sophia has made great strides in all of her styles of dancing, but I am most impressed with her ability to pick up new tap steps while keeping a strong core! Congratulations on a job well done – keep up the excellent work!”
Miss Christina: “Sophia is always full of enthusiasm as she walks into the studio and puts that energy towards every single dance move! She added a new style of dance (lyrical) to her class schedule and it has been really lovely to watch her dance with so much passion! Also, Sophia is extremely dedicated; she practices and thinks about dance even when she is not at AMA!”

What music means to Julia, in her own words…
“Music is the thing I can use to escape and not think about anything else. When I play, everything else seems like it doesn’t exist. I could write a 10-page essay answering that question. Unfortunately, this is only one sheet.”
Julia, this is what your teachers shared about you…
Miss Ann Marie: “I have known Julia since she was only 3 years old. I taught her dance in her preschool each week and always enjoyed her smiling face. We were thrilled here at AMA Dance & Music School when she began taking piano lessons with us! Julia has always excelled in everything she tries and we are especially proud of the musician she has become. Julia is talented and a wonderful role model for our younger musicians here at AMA!”
Miss Jessica: “Julia is an AMAzing piano student! She pays close attention at her lessons, has a good attitude, is very clever, asks really good questions, and applies what she is taught! Julia has completed three levels in the Achievement in Music (AIM) program with consistently high scores! This year, Julia is practicing even more at home and I am impressed with how fast she is learning and memorizing her songs! I have enjoyed being able to work with Julia on a variety of pieces that she has taken an interest in, from minuets and other classical pieces, to rags, boogies, current pop songs, and even her own compositions! I am so proud of all Julia has accomplished and can’t wait to see what this year holds!”
Congratulations on being our October Music Student of the Month, Julia!
