Letter from the Director

Dear Dancing Friends,
As I eagerly await Sophisticated Productions upcoming 2008 dance competition season and all the wonderful opportunities Sophisticated Productions has to offer all of our clients, I would first like to thank EVERYONE in our 2007 Dance Competition season for your support and loyalty. This past season I have seen a lot of fantastic performances, positive sportsmanship and everyone having a greater appreciation for "The Art of Dance." It means so much to me to see these dancers working so hard to give their best performance and watching all studio owners, teachers, parents and friends support all the dancers in a positive manner.


Melissa R. Tessier
Owner/Director

As Sophisticated Productions completes it's thirteenth season I look forward to Sophisticated Productions entering it's fourteenth year. I'm proud to announce this coming dance competition season Sophisticated Productions will now be awarding up to $2,100.00 in CASH at EVERY Regional Dance Competition and over $20,000.00 in Cash and Prizes including Ten $500.00 Cash Scholarships at our National Dance Competition in Wildwood New Jersey - July 20th thru July 26th, 2008.

When your dancers compete at Sophisticated Productions Dance Competition it's important for us that everyone experiences a fun, positive and educational dance competition. Dancers receive professional critiques from our panel of judges, experience performing on stage, practice good sportsmanship and most importantly dancers have a greater appreciation for "The Art of Dance."

All of us at Sophisticated Productions looks forward to welcoming all of you to Sophisticated Productions Dance Competitions. We're excited to seeing all of you and your wonderful talent in our 2008 Dance Competition Season. As we prepare for another successful year making new friends and sharing "The Art of Dance."

Sincerely,

Melissa R. Tessier
Owner / Director

Letters from our Participants:

"The MC is an important part of the competition. As I said 'Being approachable is huge, but then accommodating is without a doubt the best thing you can do for us (teachers).' Thanx! We (Moms too) and students as well Love Sophisticated Productions!"

"Sophisticated Productions was extremely organized and well-run. The judging was fair and consistent. All of our dancers and parents were impressed and happy after the competition weekend and are looking forward to next season. The parents and students also appreciated the special awards as the judge explained why those dancers were selected."

"As a studio director for the past 23 years I have become extremely selective when it comes to attending competitions. Through a lot 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!"

"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."
