Debi's Dance Celebrates 35 Years

   Debi's Dance, a dance school and studio in Suffern, is celebrating its 35th anniversary this year. On June 26, former students from the past three decades will come together to celebrate this milestone with owner Debi Klein at the Chalet in Suffern.

   In addition, Debi's Dance will host its 35th anniversary recital in June, featuring current students. The school traditionally hosts two recitals per year, one in June and another in December.

   For Klein, celebrating with her students is the most important part of this landmark event. "We have 225 kids in the studio, but it's not a factory," Klein says. "The teachers and students have a great rapport with each other and the teachers know their students' names." Klein says she believes this approach is what sets her studio apart from others.
