Sophisticated Productions Through the Years
2007 Testimonials

"We had a great time with you! Looking forward to coming back next Spring!"
Rachel Power

"This was our first year attending Sophisticated Productions and it is one of
our favorite competitions! It ran on time, the staff was very
professional and courteous, and the judging was fair.
The best part about the competition was that each dancer
received a trophy for every dance they did! My dancers were
soooo excited when I passed out their trophies.
We will definitely be back next year."

have finally found a place to call "home" Thanks for everything!"

perform on the boardwalk. Performing, which promotes the art of dance,
and having fun is what it is all about!. Thank you for being so personable

"As a studio director for the past 23 years I have become extremely selective
when it comes to attending competitions. Through alot of trial and error
I have come up with a short list of competitions which I feel meet
or exceed my standards. Sophisticated Productions is one of these.
I like that it falls in early March for us, it's a friendly,
professional atmosphere where my students can put
their new numbers out before a well educated group of judges.
My hat is off to all involved with your organization and a big Thank You!"
Mary Lourdes Kail
