✨🩰 AND JUST LIKE THAT… OUR 66TH YEAR COMES TO A CLOSE. 🩰✨

Every dance year leaves a little bit of magic behind… and this one left a LOT. 💜

We danced. We learned. We laughed until our bellies hurt. We cried happy tears and hard tears. We cheered each other on, grew together, and created the kind of memories that stay with you long after the music stops. And along the way, our dancers discovered that the most beautiful part of dance isn't always what happens on the stage… it's what we can do for others when we step off of it. ❤️

🎄 DECEMBER | Merry Christmas Spectacular
Our Christmas magic filled the studio and spilled into our community as our annual show collected 421 toys! 🎁 Every single toy was donated directly to the Tillamook School District to help bring Christmas morning to children and families in need.

🤸‍♀️✨ FEBRUARY | Cartwheels for Coats
We decided to turn cartwheels into kindness! During our glow-in-the-dark Cartwheels for Coats week, our dancers completed 170 cartwheels in every class and helped us collect and donate 170 coats to the Tillamook School District. 🌈🧥

🎭💜 JUNE | I Love the 90’s
Our annual Jan Colleknon Hospice Benefit Show was a celebration of music, memories, dance, and the beautiful legacy of our studio founder, Jan Colleknon.

Our dancers poured their hearts into every step and raised an incredible $5,100 for Tillamook Hospice, helping provide comfort and support to families during the incredibly difficult journey of end-of-life care.

☔💃 THEN CAME THE RAIN…
And oh, did it rain! 😂🌧️

But our dancers didn't let a little Oregon weather steal their sparkle. They danced their hearts out through the June Dairy
Parade in the pouring rain, proving that TSOD spirit shines even when the skies don't! ✨

🎡🩰 AND FINALLY… THE FAIR!
We wrapped up our year exactly where we love to be—dancing for our community at the Tillamook County Fair. The music, the lights, the laughter, the costumes, the cheering crowds… it was the perfect final curtain call for another unforgettable year. 🎠🎶✨

🎓💫 AND THEN… THERE WERE OUR SENIORS.

Every year, the Colleknon family awards a graduating senior with a $1,000 Jan Colleknon Memorial Scholarship. This year, our hearts were overflowing as we were honored to award TWO scholarships to:

💜 Haidyn Upton
💜 Bridget Allen

What an incredible way to honor Jan's legacy and celebrate two extraordinary young women who have been such an important part of our TSOD family.

And now, as we close the curtain on our 66th year, we say goodbye to four very special graduating seniors:

✨ Haidyn Upton
✨ Allie Yost
✨ Grace Williamson
✨ Bridget Allen

Our time together has been filled with adventure, excitement, friendship, growing pains, big dreams, unforgettable performances, and more belly laughs than we could ever count. We've watched you grow, not just as dancers, but as people—and what a gift that has been. 💜

Thank you for allowing us to be a tiny part of your amazing stories. Thank you for leading by example, for encouraging the little dancers watching from the wings, for sharing your talents, and for showing them what it means to be kind, confident, dedicated and compassionate.

You came to us as dancers…and you're leaving as a piece of our family. Don't stop dancing. Don't stop dreaming. And never forget where your story began. 🩰✨

REMINDER- TSOD'S ANNUAL JAN COLLEKNON HOSPICE BENEFIT SHOW ON 6/6 NOW STARTS AT 1:00PM!

GO MOOKS!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Tillamook School of Dance Adjusts Jan Colleknon Hospice Benefit Show Time in Support of Historic Cheesemaker Baseball State Championship Appearance!

In partnership with Tillamook High School Athletics and the Tillamook Cheesemaker Baseball Program, Tillamook School of Dance has announced a schedule change for its annual Jan Colleknon Hospice Benefit Show on Saturday, June 6th.

To allow families, students, and community members the opportunity to attend both events, the Jan Colleknon Hospice Benefit Show will now begin at 1:00 p.m. at the THS Don Whitney Auditorium. Dance parents, please check your email!

The schedule adjustment comes in response to the Tillamook Cheesemakers' historic first-ever appearance in the state baseball championship game, an achievement that has generated tremendous excitement throughout the community.

While we understand that a sudden schedule change may not be ideal for everyone, Tillamook School of Dance remains committed to putting kids first and working collaboratively with our community partners to provide students with every possible opportunity to participate in memorable experiences.

Both the Jan Colleknon Hospice Benefit Show and the Cheesemakers' state championship game represent significant moments for our students, families, and community. By adjusting the performance time, we hope to ensure that community members can celebrate the accomplishments of our dancers while also supporting the student-athletes representing Tillamook on the state's biggest stage.

We look forward to sharing an incredible afternoon of dance before joining the rest of Tillamook in cheering on our Mighty Mooks as they compete for a state title.

Go Cheesemakers!
