Genia Johnson Dance Company
Winter/Spring 2019
WOW!! That happened fast.....
Seems like just yesterday we were ringing in the New Year.... Spring is right around the corner and we all know what that means!!!!! Spring Performance time!! We will be sending out a lot of information within the next 2 weeks to get us prepared for what's to come! If you're new to all this, it will seem like a lot but our teachers and staff are here to help you with anything you need... just keep popping in to check with your class teacher and the information station/board (located in the lobbies), and don't forget to read your emails. If you're a Pro, get out your glitter and eyelashes and let's help out to make it as phenomenal (and fun) as possible for everyone!
Costumes will start arriving at the end of the month and important information will be available through emails, costume books (coming soon!), and through teachers at the end of each class. If you drop kids off, and they are picked up at the front door, please be asking them to listen closely to teachers about necessities, and also be checking the information stations for important things happening this month, such as Program Ads, T-shirt pre-orders, Senior Bios and more !!

What Happened this WINTER: News and Events
* Our GJDC Company members were asked to entertain at the Miss VA/Miss VA Teen Pageant again this year. What a fun and exciting experience! If you haven't seen this year's Miss VA and Miss VA Teen, check them out on Insta! What amazing young ladies we have representing our great state of Virginia!!!
* The Annual Colonial Heights Tree Lighting Event was a lot of fun with a great turnout! Thanks to all of our GJDC Dance Families who came out to support the dancers and the City of Colonial Heights!
* The Annual Colonial Heights Christmas Parade was a HUGE success!! Thanks to all the Moms, Dads and kids who came out in the cold (and sometimes rainy) weather to help build our float, (which we did a rather impressive HOME ALONE theme to), untangle lights and try to piece together Christmas trees for the event! We could not do events like these without the help of our volunteers and dance families... you are so appreciated! Because of you, and our AMAZING DANCE KIDS, we earned top spot in the Dance Category again this year!! Way to GO, GJDC!!
Unfortunately, the Chester Kiwanis Christmas Parade was cancelled again this year due to weather.... One day Chester, One day.....
* Our GJDC Company (Competition Team) got to travel to the Showstopper Convention (Myrtle Beach, SC) and to Dance Makers, Inc (Richmond, VA) in January to take classes with some of the leading dance choreographers and dancers in the business. What an amazing opportunity!
We also got to dance at our first Competition of the year, this past month, in Hampton, VA at Showstopper Regionals. Our team came away with lots of medals, trophies and SMILES and qualified all 17 numbers at the Showstopper National Competition in Myrtle Beach this July!
Wish them luck next weekend (March 15-17) as they take the stage at GROOVE in Woodbridge, VA !
