We see all of our dance and karate students as shining stars. Each week we like to congratulate any student who is shining extra bright.

March 29th, 2008 Belt Test
Congratulations to the 4 young karate students that tested for their new belts on March 29th, 2008!  Blake earned his Orange-Tip belt and an "A" on his test!  Mikey received his Gold-Tip belt and was given an "A" on his test as well!  Jaylee and Dylan both received their Gold-Tip belts also.  This was the first belt test for many of the karate students,  so in hopes of making it a very, very special test that they would never forget, A Step In Time held a short party filled with fun and games for them afterwards!  Remember kiddos who tested not all tests will have a big party afterwards like your very first one!  Congratulations to all!  Keep workin' hard!!

Dancin' For Dough has started! 
Congratulations to Jaylee!  She was our first dancer to earn Dance Dough.  On Monday night at her dance classes she was the perfect demonstration of what a good attitude and determination can accomplish for you.  Miss Sherry and Miss Lacey are very proud of Jaylee for what a "Big Girl Dancer" she has been being for the past couple of weeks!  Keep up the awesome work Jaylee!

Taylor worked herself until she was red in the face with determination...  That is why she is our "Star of the Week"!  This girlie worked so hard on Wednesday the 13th to reach her own personal goal.  We could tell that every muscle in her body had turned to jello.  She may not have acheived her goal that night, but the next Wednesday......She burst through the studio door running to show Miss Lacey that she finally could do her newest dance trick!  Miss Lacey was very proud of her, as well as all of Taylor's classmates.  Everyone was hooting and cheering her on, as she was bombarded with hugs!!!  Congrats Taylor, Keep Up The Great Work!!!!

Congratulations to the 7 karate students that tested for their belts on Saturday, January 26th, 2008!  Steve, Adrianna, Carly, Harley, and Lexi received their Gold Belts.  Miss Lacey received her Yellow Belt.  And Tyler received his Orange Belt.  All who tested that Saturday were awarded A's at the end of their tests for different reasons from overcoming a difficult time in training, to having outstanding energy throughout the test!  These 7 aspiring students came together that Saturday to give the 20 some spectators a fantastic event to watch.  Family & friends traveled as far as 90 miles to watch this special moment take place at our Owosso Studio.  You guys worked very hard for those belts keep up the great work!  We'll see at your next belt test!

Welcome back to class students!  Hope you had a wonderful Christmas Break.  We want to take this time to congratulate you on an amazing performance for the troops!  Both the parents and students pulled together as a team to make the show come together.  We are truly thankful for all the help and support from you, our dance family!  Without you the show never could have been the great success it was!
