Congratulations to the Jacksonville Dance Company and Huff ‘n Puff instructors. We are so proud of all of you. Each instructor and their dance group(s) have contributed to the continued success of the Company and every year the performances have gotten even better.

For the past 27 years at this time, I have sat down to try to write a few lines, in an effort to express my gratitude and appreciation to all our students and parents and to our staff for all that goes into this performance tonight. We have come so far from the very first recital on the stage at the Thomas Community Center at LRAFB, to the Jacksonville Community Center, to every high school in the area--from Cabot to North Little Rock--to performing for the fourth year here at Robinson Center Music Hall.
We are thankful for the opportunity to perform here tonight and it is because of the hard work of our staff and your children, and your continued support of our staff, that we are able to be here. I wish to thank all of you for that support.
Whether this is your first Huff ‘n Puff recital, or your sixteenth (or even twenty-seventh,) we hope you are as proud of your children and their performances as we are.
Our Goal from the very first year has been “We want your child to enjoy the pleasure of learning the art of dance or the skills of gymnastics while also experiencing the joy of achievement.” It is our sincere hope that when grown, your children will remember the fun and the achievements gained from their years at Huff ‘n Puff. I feel that our staff is a remarkable group and we hope that you also feel they are playing a positive part in your child’s life.
We hope also that you have as much pride in us as we have in your children and their accomplishments.
I appreciate our entire staff—teaching, coaching and office—for all that they do every day for us and for your children. Some of our staff members have been with us since they were children and our entire staff is like an extended family.
And last, but not least, I would like to honor my daughter. The responsibilities required for managing this business are endless and not accomplished without a good deal of sacrifice. My pride lies not only in Laurel’s ability to dance or teach but also in her ability to see things as they are, to relate to people and to care for the students. Her creative talents, combined with dedication, and her courage to set higher goals, and to help the students attain those goals, have made Huff ‘n Puff an even better training facility for dance, gymnastics and cheerleading.
Your continued support of Laurel and our staff is sincerely appreciated. Without your support, we would be nothing.
