                      JOANNE REAGAN DANCE STUDIOS

  (Mr. VAN DREW asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. VAN DREW. Madam Speaker, Joanne Reagan of Joanne Reagan Dance 
Studios in Cold Spring, New Jersey, celebrated her 50th year teaching 
dance over the weekend. She started training at only 8 years of age.
  Joanne Reagan Dance Studios is founded on belief in the philosophy 
and mission to build character, discipline, and responsibility through 
the creative and performing arts.
  They aim to give students the ammunition and the armor they need to 
pursue a professional career, if they desire to do so, or in whatever 
endeavor they choose to pursue in their lives.
  Students are encouraged to aspire towards their own personal goals in 
a manner which celebrates the individual and promotes self-esteem, and 
it also promotes a positive body image.
  I celebrate Joanne Reagan's service to our community and commend her 
for passing on these invaluable life skills to southern New Jersey's 
youth.
  Madam Speaker, we are really lucky to have her.
