I am proud to say that this is the 52nd recital for Marilyn’s Academy of Dance! I thank God for blessing me with the gift of dance and for the many incredible people who have come into my life through this wonderful journey. We now have generations of dancers here at the studio, which is truly a blessing, and I am deeply grateful for every family who has been part of Marilyn’s Academy of Dance.

My parents first enrolled me in dance classes in hopes of correcting my very pigeon-toed feet. At the time, I was awkward and clumsy and certainly not a natural dancer! My very first dance lessons were held at my next-door neighbor’s house in Central Phoenix when I was eight years old. Later, I began taking formal lessons at Arnora’s Studio of Dance.

My parents were always encouraging and taught me that nothing is impossible. From the very beginning, I had a deep passion and love for dance. After many years of practice, lessons, recitals, auditions, performances, and awards, I opened Marilyn’s Academy of Dance in 1974. Our first studio was located at 4306 W. Missouri Avenue, followed by locations at 5008 W. Northern Avenue and 5137 W. Thunderbird Road before moving to our current home.

I am forever thankful for the encouragement of my parents, Embrey and Martha Stults, who inspired and supported me in pursuing my dream of owning a dance studio. Because of these two very special people, countless lives have been touched and lifelong friendships have been formed. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for your endless love, encouragement, support, and sacrifices that will never be forgotten. Thank you for the values you instilled in me, which I strive to pass on to my family and students. You are always in my heart, and not a day goes by that I don’t think of you and say a prayer for you. Your spirits remain with me always.

Thank you to my husband, Pat, for his constant love, support, and care. Thank you also to my family—Patrick and Jenna, Sarah and Ryan, Michelle and Joel, and my six grandchildren—who have supported and helped me in countless ways throughout the years. I could not do what I do without the love and encouragement they so generously give me.

I would also like to thank my amazing staff, who are truly like family to me. Many of our teachers grew up dancing at Marilyn’s Academy of Dance, which makes our studio even more special. The support, dedication, and love they show to both me and our students is overwhelming, and we are truly blessed to have them in our lives.

Finally, thank you to all the families who continue to help with recitals, even after their own children have graduated from the studio. Special thanks to all the parents and guardians who have supported Marilyn’s Academy of Dance throughout these past 52 years. It is truly our privilege to be part of your lives and to work with your children—helping them discover the beauty of dance and the unique rhythm and talent that lives within each and every one of them.

MAD UNIFIED - MAD Unified Instructors: Patrick Burns, Michael Wakeford

MAD Unified Dance Crew began on January 10, 2020, when a courageous group of individuals gathered at Marilyn’s Academy of Dance to create something truly special—UNITY. Little did we know that only a few months later, COVID-19 would turn our world upside down.
From the very beginning, we discovered that the best way to build unity is through diversity. People from different backgrounds and abilities came together with open hearts, embracing one another’s uniqueness and creating something far greater than themselves. Every Friday evening, Patrick and Michael taught hip hop to 24 incredible dancers, building friendships, confidence, and community through the power of dance.

MAD Unified was preparing to perform at the Arizona Special Olympics Opening Ceremonies, our annual recital, and dance competitions when the pandemic suddenly brought in-person classes to a halt. Although we could no longer meet at the studio, our passion for dance and connection continued. Through Zoom classes, we were able to keep dancing together with participants from across the United States and even overseas.

Today, we are thankful to once again be dancing together in the studio. MAD Unified continues to grow as a place where everyone belongs, everyone is valued, and everyone shines.
