I’m so very excited and proud to announce that the Richard’s Competition team brought home gold awards for their Jazz and Lyrical routines at this year’s Chicago National Association of Dance Masters (CNADM) Student Competition.  This is Richard’s 3rd year offering this fun and enriching opportunity to students and each year they have amazed the judges and brought home at least one gold award!

To add to the excitement, this year was the 100th anniversary of CNADM.  The CNADM has been a huge part of Richard’s for the last 60 years.  Richard Verhoeven, the founder of Richard’s has been a member since 1952 and was even the president of CNADM between 1987 and 1989.

This year 2 of the staff and myself attended the teacher training seminar and conference growing not only our skills but improving how well we can pass those skills on to the students.  We are all excited to bring the new ideas to our upcoming season!
