Chris Collins Dance Studio

To have an educator in this day and age that has offered the best of themselves for 40 years is a major accomplishment. In the error of instant gratification and the exploitation of dance having more people like Chris Collins in our industry is imperative to the preservation of professionalism in dance. Chris, you are appreciated and your 40 years of diligence does not go unnoticed. Thank you for your service and dedication to the dancers, students, parents, and your peers. Congratulations on your 40 year anniversary.

I spent nearly 15 years at CCDS and it's provided me with some of my greatest childhood memories, lasting friendships, and a good introduction to hard work and dedication. As a mom now I wish we lived closer to the studio so that my kids could have the same great experience I did.

All those magical summers performing at Tony Grant Stars of Tomorrow on the Steel Pier in Atlantic City, I looked up to you as a mentor and friend. I know everyone else did too. You were like a big brother to everyone on the show. It would never have been the same without you. I'm so happy for the well deserved success of your dance studio and I would like to wish you a very "Happy 40th Anniversary" with many more to come!
