There is only one dance studio in Lehigh Acres – Footnotes Dance and Music. Located at 25 Homestead Road in Suite #35, they have been established now for 6 years. Footnotes co-owners Barbara Lambert McKenzie and Wayne Christiano have been involved in dance and music for over 30 years. McKenzie is a Lehigh Acres native and attended both Riverdale High School and Edison Community College. Christiano brought the music aspect to Footnotes and is a very successful guitarist and drummer who still performs weekly. The two not only own Footnotes together, but are married with five children.
This weekend, Footnotes will have their sixth Annual Dance Recital on Sunday, May 20th. There are two shows: one at 11:30am and another at 5:30pm. The Dance Recital will be held at East Lee County High School located at 715 Thomas Sherwin Avenue in Lehigh Acres. Admission is free to the public.
Footnotes has over 250 students in attendance and the ages range from as young as 2 years old all the way up to adults dancing in their sixties. All aspects of dance will be performed from ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop, acrobats, and even Zumba.
Lehigh Acres Gazette will be covering this weekend’s performance and we hope to see you there. Learn more about Footnotes Studio at www.FootnotesDanceandMusic.com.
