Rhonda Foote has been dancing since she could walk. She trained with her Mother, Donna Foote, at Donna Foote School of Dance in Lewis County. She was Miss Lewis County, Most-Talented at Miss New York State, and New York State Fair Talent Hunt Grand Champion in her competitive career.
Rhonda graduated magna cum-laude from Hartwick College where she was President and Student Choreographer of the dance company, Orchesis. Rhonda studied with Janet Bresee while at Hartwick.
After over twenty years teaching in the North Country, Rhonda continues to advance her dance training through seminars, workshops, and study.
Rhonda's believes in the studio motto, "Where Dance Is An Art". She states, "Too often today, dance is made into a 3 minute combination of meaningless tricks and poses. Dance is an intricate art of movemement, story telling and personal growth. Our studio strives to bring the dance to life for each student".
Rhonda received the 2007 Children's Miracle Network Community award for her work with the studio Outreach Company. Rhonda's family was nationally recognized by Family Fun Magazine for their community outreach. Her daughter and step- daughter were one of five nationally featured stories in American Girl Magazine in December 2008. The girls were recognized for their exceptional community service as part of the studio outreach company. Rhonda says, "Dance is a gift that is to be shared and used to assist those in our communities needing help. As a teacher, I know that very few of my students will become Professional Dancers. It is my job to help them to be Professional people who grow to become strong leaders in their communities. The arts offers a chance to build self-confidence and an altruistic spirit".
Rhonda's FooteWorks is in Evans Mills, NY and offers dance for age 2 through adult at all levels of study.
