Elsa Doreen Pokusa

I will always remember and cherish my memories of taking dance lessons, along with my two sisters, from Doreen and Mimi at Doreen's School of the Dance for 17 years. The way we ended our weekly classes with the song "Put on a Happy Face" always makes me smile, and I still know the words to it since first learning it when I was 5 years old. I will definitely be attending the 50 anniversary show and wish that Doreen could have been there for it. Although, I know she will be in spirit, and as she always used to say, "The Show Must Go On"! I thank Doreen and Mimi for my wonderful dance classes, shows, and learning how to put on a happy face even if you make a mistake. I'm so proud to have known her and always brag about taking dance lessons from the BEST dance studio in Antioch or anywhere. I'll miss you and God Bless!!

Love always, Laurie (Georgen) Koch
