Stacy Frederick



Owner





Stacy began as a student of Wendy Wade Dance. She pursued her dance education at Dean College in Franklin, MA where she graduated Magna Cum Laude with a degree in Dance and Arts Education. At Dean, Stacy pursued her dance education in Modern, Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Theatre, and Voice. She's performed in Dean College's Dance Company while attending and was chosen by Tina Girstler to perform an original piece of choreography. Stacy was chosen to attend the Alvin Ailey School in NYC for the 2 year program and received the Franklin School of Arts scholarship for her original piece of choreography. Stacy has taken master classes from Bill T. Jones, the Jose Limon Company, Paul Taylor II, and at the Alvin Ailey School in NYC. She came back to the area in the fall of '99 when she came "home" to the Wendy Wade Dance Studio. Stacy implemented the Modern program and expanded the Hip Hop program as well. In 2006, she and Wendy became partners for two years, and in the fall of 2008, Stacy became owner of the Holbrook-Wade School of Dance. She credits her parents, husband, and family on the success of the studio. With out their love and support, it wouldn't be possible.
