We were so blessed a little over a year ago. We decided to put Taylor in dance because she had always enjoyed it so much and we thought she was pretty good. What parent doesn't?
Enter Miss Boni! We were so fortunate to find a really great place for Taylor to take dance. We started Taylor right away in the summer of last year just after we attended their recital. It was more than impressive to say the least.
It was a place called Boni's Dance and Performing Arts Studio. We didn't meet Miss Boni right away, but knew that it was a very special place just based on what we had seen with the teachers both in the studio as well as the character they showed outside of it.
First there was Miss Marsha who was Taylor's first teacher. I don't think we could have dreamed of finding someone as good with little one's as she is. She makes them all feel so comfortable even the shy one's. She is very special.
Then came Miss Terry. She is the pulse of the studio. The one that makes things happen, and in our case the one who set things in motion. She was Taylor's teacher last Fall, and after only two classes, saw Taylor's potential and chose to move her into more advanced classes so that she could be challenged. This was a HUGE turning point for Taylor and we owe Miss Terry a ton. She loves the kids and always has a smile on her face.
Since starting dance just over a year ago, and getting moved up by Miss Terry, Taylor has auditioned and made The Woodlands Dance Company and Bonis En Toure Competitive Dance Team. Her future in dance is bright and we owe much of that to Miss Terry.
So out of Miss Terry's class and into ballet with Miss Christina and tap with Miss Amy. I have no words to express how lucky Taylor was to get them.
Miss Christina is the ballet director at Boni's, and Taylor has taken many a private lesson from her as well. She is an unbelievable talent when it comes to dance and equally as good as a teacher. We almost lost her this year when she thought of moving back to Phoenix, and we are so glad she didn't. It would have been an immeasurable loss for Taylor. This is how highly we think of her.
Miss Amy is the BET Too director. For those who don't know BET is Boni's En Toure and it is the competition troupe at Boni's. The best of the best who go and compete at various competitions each year. Nationals is in Branson and we cant wait! I digress.
Anyway, Taylor has grown attached to Miss Amy's hip as she is her BET teacher. There is always the part where I tell you that Taylor likes tap the most that enters into the equation as well. Truth be told though, Miss Amy is an exceptional tap instructor and we were so blessed to have Taylor take from her last. Taylor is turning into a really great tapper and it is solely Miss Amy's doing.
Taylor also took Hip Hop this summer from Miss Toni. If you are reading this and know of Bonis then you know I don't need say much about her. She is totally business with these kids and we LOVE that! She always gets the most out of them every time they step into the studio with her. Miss Toni also does the Hip Hop number for BET that you have seen videos of. Go Peanut Butter and Jelly Time!
So you can see that this studio is a very very special place. I'm hear to tell you that it is thanks to this lady........
Boni.
That's right. Miss Boni.
She is the heart of the studio. Like an angel she glides up and down the hall never missing a single handshake, smile, or hug from a student. She is all that is Boni's and the reason little girls squeal when they see her.
She started the studio out of her garage in 1983. Very soon after she had moved into her first studio which began an amazing journey. She opened the 15,000 plus sq ft studio she is in now back in 2001, and has since opened a second campus in Magnolia.
Since 1983 she has danced her way into the hearts of many. She has won many awards and recognitions throughout the years which are too numerous to list here. However it is not the awards that define her success, but her success that defines the awards.
Today it is her birthday. So on this very special occasion we wanted to take the opportunity to share with you how we feel about this very special lady.
Boni,
It is with great pleasure that we send you well wishes on your special day. Thank you for everything you have been to Taylor. She started at your studio as a little girl, and thanks to you she has been molded into a beautiful young lady.
We love that in addition to a wonderful dance curriculum, she also learns etiquette, responsibility, trust and teamwork. The character development she is getting is priceless. We will never be able to express in words how appreciative we are to have met you. We do however take solice in knowing that we have at least 10 more years to figure it out.
So on this day we wish you the best. Thank you for all you and your wonderful teachers have meant to our beautiful princess. She has grown leaps and bounds since starting dance at your studio, and we cant wait to see what happens next.
We are honored to call you teacher, mentor, motivator and friend. God bless you on this day and the many many more that are to come! We hope to be there every step of the way.
