How do we define success?
O N TA R I O C O M P E T I T I O N O R G A N I Z E R S
“I forget where I put my keys sometimes but I never forget a friend.”
Going to a competition in Ontario for many of us is like finding those keys.
Teachers like Miss Forrester, Mollie McGregor, Evelyn Murray, Helen MacLeod and
Jenny MacLachlan, to name but a few, laid the foundation around our province so that
we can do what we love to do. The Competition Organizers provide the opportunity for
us to see old friends, make new ones and thrive in our dance community. Without them
we would not have success stories to share.
The Organizing Committee of SDCCS 2015 would like to acknowledge the
Ontario Competition Organizers who have reached out to help create more
opportunities for our dancers.
No words can thank them enough for their generosity and volunteer spirit. We can define success because of them!
