Annual Spring Performance   The most professional student performance in the area, our dancers have the occasion to perform before hundreds of friends, family and community members.  The spring performance is held each year in May.  Students present class pieces for this gala event.

Dance Masters of Wisconsin (DMW) and  Chicago National Association of Dance Masters (CNADM)      Miss Suzanne is an active member in both organizations which provide members and their students with continued education and enrichment in dance.  Miss Suzanne ‘s active membership allows her students to participate in these workshops at a reduced fee, be eligible for workshop and college scholarships, the Student Honors Program, competitions and competing for Miss/Mr DMW.  DMW meets 4 times a year; October, November, February and March, within the state of Wisconsin.       CNADM meets in October for a workshop and in July for Ballet Forum, Teachers Training, Convention, Student Session and Competitions.

Assistant Teacher Training Program      Becoming a Teaching Assistant is an honor and an additional education opportunity.  It encourages students to perfect technique, prepares them to be a future dance teacher, and most of all, is extremely fun.  Assistant teachers make a difference in the lives of children being introduced to the world of dance.            Junior Assistant Trainees: Any student in Ballet II and up, at least 10 years of age and with a minimum 2.5 GPA are encouraged to apply.  Teaching Assistant Trainees (TAT):  Ballet III and up, age 12 and up, with a minimum of a 2,5 GPA are encouraged to apply.           This is a full year commitment that starts students in an apprentice program, training towards being a dance instructor, which has proven to be invaluable to those in the program.  Interested dancers should contact Marilyn School of Dance for more information.
