Winova's Sweet 16 Dance Birthday Party  October 1st, 2011

     StudioDNA was so honored to have Winova's party.  She has grown up here at StudioDNA.  John has been a close friend of the family and teacher to Winova and her Mother, Marie, since Winova was in single digits.  Winova started dancing with John when she was at least 7 or 8 years old.  A few of her earlier pics were added at the end as a retrospective. 

     Winova has had a few dance parties here with us and her friends by far are the most well behaved and polite children ever to grace our dance floor.  These children have all been home-schooled and are an absolute delight thanks to their dedicated parents and Nana, their teacher, mentor, and friend!  Thank you to the following friends for coming to spend Winova's Sweet 16:  Brian, Mariah, Ben, Laura, Jane, Sophie, MC, Lori, Elizabeth, and of course Amandine (her baby sister) & Marie (her mother).
