Spotlight Employee of the Month

December 2009 - YVETTE CUCURO

Miss Yvette Cucuro is our Spotlight Employee of the Month for December 2009. She started dancing when she was 3 years old. She lived in Brooklyn and her left foot was turned in making it difficult for her to walk straight. It was becoming a problem for her because she would fall all the time because of it and she bruised her face once and skinned her knees daily so her parents took her to see a doctor. The Dr. advised her parents that they should put her into ballet class and see if that would help her learn to turn out her foot so that maybe it would correct itself without the help of a special shoe. So, that Monday morning her mom enrolled her in ballet in Brooklyn and she just loved it! Her foot started turning out the correct way after a while and then she continued dancing all the way until she graduated from College. :)
         Miss Evey, as we all know and love her as.....started dancing at Dance attitudes when she was a senior in High School on our award winning  Midnight Team. She danced along side of Miss Jenna, Miss Melissa (miss misa as we know her), Miss Stephanie, Mr. Max, Miss Christina, Miss Lisa, Miss Jacki, and Miss Kristina. It was a great year as you can tell. Her dance teachers included Mr. Derrick, Mr. Andrew, and Mr. Gadi to name a few. After she graduated from D.A. in 2005, she still danced at Nationals, Marlboro Day, the orange bowl and at the Dancers Responding to AIDS benefit (DRA) with us.
         Miss Evey has a beautiful philosophy for teaching dance - it is, that she strives to make students feel confident and not hold back..She does this so that students will feel comfortable and they will always do their best! It seems to be working so far--Keep it up Miss Evey!
