I love the news about the Tahawus Lodge Center and Windows of Change
Gallery. Smiling, it brought back some memories of you finding the
loft in NYC and having to strip away all that glue!!! At this time, with so
many store-fronts standing empty along city & town streets - it's so good to
know there are people still working to make a difference. Bravo and
kudos. M. Boublitz, Weaver/ Lacemaker,( Hanover, PA)

"I attended the Lake Placid Onstage camp in the summer before 6th Grade. It was my first true summer dance intensive. I had never been in such close proximity with professional dancers before, and it was both wonderful and frightening. I took my first real modern and hip hop classes, and ate lunch outside sitting on a gigantic rock with other Interns" Onstage Intern (Plattsburgh)

"I can remember that first year when I did Kids Co-Motion and I was so upset that I did not get to dance more than once! I am so happy that you all come here in the summer to teach dance."

Having a dance camp in the summer is great. 1) because I can stay in practice for the fall, and 2) because in Onstage, I can dance with a larger group of people. I really like to be challenged in dance. I like to put on performances to make people happy. I love to work on choreographies.

It is great to wake up in the morning and know that I will get up, eat breakfast, and dance! Onstage Student, (Lake Placid)
