Owner & Artistic Director of DanceIHC
PARENTS, GUARDIANS, AND SUPPORTERS OF DANCEIHC, IT BRINGS ME GREAT PLEASURE AND EXTREME HUMBLENESS TO INTRODUCE THE DANCEIHC BRAND THAT HOUSES THE PASSION DEVELOPING IN EACH LITTLE IHC GIRL’S HEART TODAY IN OUR 10TH-SEASON RECITAL. THAT LOVE IS FILLED WITH THE ART OF DANCE, SOMETHING THAT IS SO POWERFUL AND IMPACTFUL THAT IT PROVOKES ONE'S BODY TO MOVE AND CREATE MOVEMENT THAT CAN ENTERTAIN, ENGAGE AND EXPRESS ONE'S INNER THOUGHTS WITHOUT SAYING A WORD. AS I REFLECT ON SEASON 10, IT WAS FILLED WITH OVERFLOW AND CHANGE. OVERFLOW OF STUDENTS. OPPORTUNITY, DEVELOPMENT, AND IDEAS. THIS EVENING, AS THE LAYETTE AND JR. DIVISION DIRECTOR KA'LYN GILBERT- WILSON TAKES HER FINAL CURTAIN CALL WITH DANCEIHC; I WANT TO EXPRESS MY GRATITUDE TO HER HUSBAND AND HER FAMILY FOR EXTENDING HER TO MY DANCEIHC FAMILY FOR THESE LAST EIGHT YEARS. HER WORK HAS NEVER GONE UNNOTICED, AND IT WILL SHINE BRIGHT IN THIS TWO-DAY FINALE IN SEASON 10. TO THE DANCEIHC STAFF, YOU ARE SECOND TO NONE. ONE THING THAT HAS REMAINED THE SAME THROUGHOUT THIS 1O YEAR JOURNEY, NO MATTER WHERE DANCING IN HIS COMPANY HAS BROUGHT ME I HAVE NEVER FORGOTTEN WHERE I CQME FROM AND HOW I GOT HERE FROM BIENVILLE, TOLEDANO, FRANKLIN, AND NOW TERRY PARKWAY...OUR WAY, MY LOVE FOR DANCE AND THE IHC GIRLS CONTINUES TO GROW AND FLOWS FLUIDLY THROUGH MY HEART. I AM SO GRATEFUL AND HUMBLED THAT YOU CHOSE DANCEIHC TO BE YOUR DANCE HOME. NOW SIT BACK AS DANCEIHC BRINGS YOU THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY DANCEIHC SHOWCASE, THE YEAR OF REFLECTION...DANCING FOR A DECADE: LONGEVITY. GROWTH. HISTORY.EXPERIENCE TO LIFE! AND REMEMBER...IT'S NOT JUST DANCE...IT'S LIFE! MARTRESACA JACKSON HOWARD OWNER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF DANCEIHC
