Annapolis, MD - 05/22/10 - Studio 180 Dance had their Second Annual Spring Recital at The Chesapeake Art's Center on May 22nd, 2010 at 2pm. Students ages 3 - adult performed well-rehearsed dances, practiced since September. The dances, costumes, lighting, and smiles were perfect and audience members enjoyed the growth of their loved ones. Studio 180 Dance's owner, Katie Carpenter, and her dance faculty are so proud of all of their students and how successfully they performed onstage. Even a 4 year old who lost her tap shoe was able to sit down, put it on and stand back up to continue the dance with perfect timing! Now that's talent!
 
Annual awards and scholarships were presented to dancers after the show. The "Sunshine Award" was given to Ashley Register; the "Commitment Award" was given to Lindsey Register; the "Most Improved Senior Award" was given to Paulina Grajewsky; the "Most Improved Junior Award" was given to Kali Gilson; and the "Bright Young Star Award" was given to Samantha Newman. The Junior Scholarship was awarded to 2 students this year: Lindsey Ray and Maddie Battista; and the Senior Scholarship went to Kinsey Stanton-Penkert. Scholarships discounting tuition are awarded based on a dancer's hard work, improvement, commitment and overall attitude at the studio and in class. Carpenter and faculty are so proud of all award and scholarship winners!
