Happy Birthday to the wonderful Ms. Tina. Words can not express how much your students love you. You put so much thought into your work and you do it with so much passion. Anybody who gets to spend time with you is lucky. You have the biggest heart and such a vision to create such magic on stage. Studio Bleu Vocal and Theater Arts love you so much. Students if you have a favorite memory with Ms. Tina share in the comments!! Tina Smothers Studio Bleu Dance Center

Future Friday!!! We love seeing our future Bleu babies and seeing this we know that the Theater program has a bright future with little Miss Willow and Miss Josie 💜💜 @voicebytina @sugarplumbleu @studiobleudc

So this is a Throwback Thursday Post but also a Thankful Thursday Post. We are so lucky to have so many incredible students who help and do things but one student in particular has really stepped in to help us with all of our social media campaigns and so much more. All the amazing videos, wacky Wednesday posts, they are all created by her. So to our student Tech and PR Director @maggie.n.miller I am eternally grateful for you and am so blessed to have you in my life. I’ve loved watching you grow not only as a performer, singer and in every technical aspect but I have LOVED watching you grow in leadership. I love you beyond words my sweet girl! 💜💜💜

It’s Wacky Wednesday! Today we want to spread some color and some hope! We know that after the storm comes a rainbow so dress in your most colorful outfits and don’t forget to tag us! @voicebytina @sugarplumbleu @studiobleudc

Okay so I know we technically already did our Theater Tuesday post but when you get a video like this you just have to post again. We are all struggling and sometimes you just need to look for the Yayy moments. These kids are working so hard on Seussical Kids every Tuesday online and man it’s hard. This is new for everyone, but they come in and they give it all they have every week and honestly it makes us so happy to see their faces and our Into the Woods casts faces. THEY are our WHY. So Connor...our 💜 is happy too bud, our 💜 is very happy too....
