On this episode of NOW We’re Talking, we dive into the world of rhythm, resilience, and expression with four remarkable women from Clarkesville School of Dance: Director Francie Keene, Rio Thompson, Kristy Shea, and Emily McCleod. As the studio prepares for its highly anticipated annual recital on May 10 at Habersham Central High School, these dance educators share more than just behind-the-scenes insight, they reveal the deeper impact of dance in shaping confidence, community, and character.
From early steps in tap shoes to bold leaps across the stage, hear how CSD inspires dancers of all ages to grow not just as performers, but as people. With decades of combined experience and a shared passion for teaching, this conversation explores how dance becomes a language for identity, healing, and joy, and why this year’s recital is set to be more than just a performance.
Whether you’re a dancer, a parent, or just someone who believes in the power of the arts, this one will move you.
