Philosophy:
TLC Members promote good will and good deeds. Their “Dancers Care” motto is heard throughout the nation. TLC allows dancers venues to help others in need; all that is required is a willingness to care. Retter’s Academy of Dance promotes leadership through dance education. One must learn how to serve in order to lead! TLC provides a plan of action to caring individuals who wish to make their community and their world a better place to live.

T.L.C. Special Recognition – Featured at Real Sports Heroes: Saluting Teamwork by Linda Ross Porter

The Retter’s created the Danceitarian Movement (dance + humanitarian=Danceitarian) 17 years ago. Praised by past governors, National Dance Publications and community leaders. Dance education at Retter’s Academy of Dance also includes service to community and country.

The goal is to empower dancers with the power of good and optimism. The idea is to combat an adversity with a good deed. So, no matter what lies ahead ~ goodness will always prevail.

We are proud to announce that over$3,000.00 was raised during our 2007-2008 dance season. Bake sale drives, T-shirt sales and Random Acts of Kindness helped benefit the less fortunate in big ways.

TLC Members raised over $1,300.00 for the ONE Campaign by purchasing T-shirts through the ONE Campaign.

Thank you to all our dancers and dance families who so wholeheartedly embraced our TLC Committee at Retter’s Academy of Dance.

“Giving is the true success.”
