Brooke’s School of Dance presents One Drop

Brooke’s School of Dance presented their 2025 annual dance production entitled One Drop this past weekend, with three shows on Saturday, May 4, 2025, and two shows on Sunday, May 5. All of the songs incorporated into this year’s show had a common theme: They were all associated in some way with water.
Dancers start preparing for the show beginning in early fall and work all season to perfect their routines for the annual showcase.
Performances encompassed jazz, tap, hip hop, lyrical, ballet, and pointe styles, with some combining multiple genres and groups into a single song.
At the end of the show, as is tradition, studio owner Brooke Burton presented her dancers who are high school Seniors and will graduate from high school this year, and they performed a special routine.
She also summarized the meaning behind the show’s title, One Drop. “When you feel like what you’re doing is just a drop in the ocean, remember the ocean would be less without that missing drop.” Burton said.

When thanking everyone involved in the show and giving her staff extra credit for everything they did this year due to the extra hurdles she faced this year due to her pregnancy, Burton added on social media, “My staff just wowed me with their ability to guide us through another successful year. My family carried us and stepped up whenever we needed them. My dancers and my dance families are the heartbeat of the entire week, and the happiness and pride they all feel about the work they all put in is truly the reason I do this.”
“... In full transparency, this was the hardest dance term for me since COVID years,” she said.
Citing months of nausea and exhaustion, Burton added to her social media post: “I think it’s important to acknowledge that although these pictures are so fun and amazing and it was a great weekend, in real life this year was really really hard and I struggled a lot and social media is a highlight reel ... and that’s just the truth.”
But, she added, “What you do is important and matters, no matter how difficult or insignificant or how many steps you take forward and how many falls backwards.”
“... You can do hard things,” Burton said. “Dig deep and keep moving no matter how much it seems like you’re treading water.”
