2020’s A GOLDEN MILESTONE Shaken by the Coronavirus pandemic, theaters around the world went dark for the better part of two years. Dancers’ Workshop quickly pivoted to offering youth and student classes via an online platform. Despite turbulent and uncertain times, the Dancers’ Workshop community maintained strong, resilient connections. Through the generosity of both private and public funding, the organization managed to financially navigate this extraordinarily challenging time. In 2021, Erin Roy stepped into her role as Executive Director of Dancers’ Workshop, and David Dorfman Dance became the first Commissioned Artist-in-Residence. In 2021, for the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, Dancers’ Workshop was able to perform If the Shoe Fits — an adaptation of the beloved Cinderella story — at Winter Production. Since the original presentation of The Nutcracker in 1978, Winter Productions have been a beloved tradition at Dancers’ Workshop. Last year, Dancers’ Workshop had 240 youth students including 18 members of the Junior Repertory Company. This year, 2022, teacher Stacy Thorkildsen is celebrating her 30th year of teaching. Dancers’ Workshop still offers Country Western Swing classes and lessons: a program currently led by BJ Reed using the teaching model established by founder Nancy Lee. Dancers’ Workshop is thrilled to celebrate our Golden Anniversary with you — 50 years of sharing the world of dance with our community and state!
