Spring 2023
On April 29th. This event was very nostalgic for anyone who danced with MC's teacher, from 1970-2023.
What is the Reunion Concert?
MC committed to this in May. It is weird, it is white, it is a southern belle tradition.
What is debutante?
Ainsley Morton (MC's good friend) accompanied MC to this iconic beach.
What are the Hamptons
This woman invited all of the counselors to spend half of a week in her beach house, after the counselors spent the month with her unhinged comments, irrelevant rules, and unsolicited advice. To know her is to love her.
Who is Susan Anderson?
MC does not have any of this "term" but prefers to call them dreams.
This young dog stays very content at his family's house.
MC worked here for the month of May in the lawn and garden center, reorganizing hose attachments, BBQ sauce, and pool goggles.
What is Simpson Ace Hardware and Sports?
Being a counselor at the USC intensive was very hard for MC but she walked away with this unexpected passion:
What is dance education?
Sometimes this is MC's favorite topic of conversation, but she has nothing exciting to update anyone on and usually refers to her openness and contentment concerning this popular subject matter.
What is love life?
This experience is very silly for those who know Eddie Forehand and the culture of ballet class.
What is Ballet Final?
This woman treated MC with the utmost hospitality during her stay in NYC and met MC at the airport on May 31st.
Who was MC's host for NYC?
These lessons include: NYC is expensive, NYC makes much good dance. NYC makes much strange dance. NYC has many good people. NYC has many strange people.
What did MC learn from her trip to NYC.
This man cursed out the Associate Director of the Intensive and was fired on the spot. He became the inside joke of the month and will continue to symbolize male privilege in MC's eyes.
Tevfik.
MC hopes to maintain this difficult equilibrium often referred to in time management conversations. She hopes to go to sleep early, have frequent restful moments, do what she loves, work hard, and play hard.
What is work-life balance?
This photo is an adorable reminder that the Matthews family exists.
What is family Easter Picture?
This event in May is one of the reasons MC thinks Sumter is a happy place to live. With live theatre, socially awkward teens, and a parent-powered education, what could be happier?!
Who is Aggelos?
This was a highlight of the intensive: getting to know all the counselor, kids, and faculty, and getting to see everyone grow up a little bit.
what is silver lining?
These two women, about 25 years apart in age, both asked me to tell all of you hello yesterday. One of them gave me life and the other one used to live in Dessy with us.
Who are Molly Matthews and Naiya Patel.
"The line here is very flat, which means you see things in black and white...and once you get past your problems, you will very flat and easy life...very successful...but you will need to be alone often because you have many questions and problems...mean men are talking about you...be careful...a pet would be helpful."
What did the fortune teller at the turkish coffee shop on Spring Break say? see photo 15
A loving and somewhat cynical nickname for MC's cousin's house in South Carolina. She babysat her cousins for a week in May and called it this.
What is the Mansion in the Marsh?
This woman sat with MC at a ballet performance that MC and Ella attended. She then described her life story to MC on an impromptu dinner and a show date.
Who is Linda?

nope, unless she could totally restructure and organize the program.
There are three notable items on this list of sorts: ride in hot air balloon, embody surf girl vibe, go to every national park.
What is bucket list lol.
