Dance was my first love.  For as long as I have been walking, I have been 

dancing.  My fifteen year experience at AnneMarie's taught me motivation, self- 

esteem, dedication, and good old fashion hard-work.  It was through ballet that 

I learned part of the person I am today.  These days, I will be completing my 

nursing degree at UMass-Amherst; and I will be a practicing RN by the new year 

('08).  It was the life lessons through my childhood/adolescent passion that got 

me where I am today.  Dancing at AnneMarie's has given me thousands of memories 

and many lasting friendships that will stay with me forever.

Jamie Kurtz

I danced for 15 years at Annemarie's, spending my high school years 

practically living in the studios teaching, taking classes, and 

practicing!  The Dance Centre was my life; I look back very fondly 

upon those years and the closeness I felt with my fellow movers and 

with my "second mother" Miss Anne.  Since those days, I graduated from 

the University of Massachusetts, Amherst with a double degree in 

psychology and dance.  I choreographed several pieces and performed in 

faculty and student choreography shows.  Currently, I am a doctoral 

student in clinical psychology at George Mason University.  I am 

struggling to fit movement into my intense schedule of classes, 

teaching, researching, etc., but was thrilled to perform in the spring 

with the Mason Dance Company! 

Miss you and hope all is well!
