A Letter from the Director

Dear CVDA Families,

I am thrilled to extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the families of Chester Valley Dance Academy. This year, we successfully navigated through our first fully in-person season since the pandemic, thanks to the unwavering dedication and hard work of your children. It fills me with immense pride to witness the incredible growth and achievements of our dancers throughout this year. I would also like to express my deep gratitude to the parents and alumni who generously volunteered their time and efforts behind the scenes during the performance weekend. Your support and involvement truly made our return to Phoenixville Middle School feel like coming home. It is the collective spirit and collaboration of our CVDA community that contributes to the magic of our events.

I am especially proud and thankful of all who participated in the Opening Number production of "Grease". Kenzie Reid played an integral role in choreographing this production with me and I would also like to extend my appreciation to Stephanie Farrelly and Kate Nasuti for their outstanding attention to detail in costume design. To the students who dedicated their time and energy to dance in this year's Opening Number, I applaud your commitment and applaud your incredible performance. Your sacrifice of Friday nights and Saturdays for rehearsals has truly paid off, resulting in a truly entertaining production. Last but not least, my heartfelt thanks to the stage crew and all those who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make the Opening Number such a resounding success.

Recital weekend has always been a cherished highlight of our year, showcasing the exceptional talent and beauty of our dancers through breathtaking routines. I am immensely grateful for the outstanding faculty at Chester Valley Dance Academy, whose knowledge and dedication shine through the remarkable growth and achievements of our students. Their commitment to their craft and the guidance they provide are instrumental in shaping our dancers into the best versions of themselves.

Finally, I want to express my deepest appreciation to all our CVDA families for their support, trust, and commitment to the studio and art of dance. It is through our collective efforts that we continue to create memorable experiences and empower our dancers to reach new heights. Thank you for being a part of the CVDA family.

With warm regards,

Cathy Moran
