As children, we all have fond memories of spending time with family and watching our parents as they lead by example. We may not have thought much about it as children, but even the little things we saw left an imprint. Dr. Ardeanna Dale Wideman, affectionately known as Dr. Dee, encapsulated what she learned and has used it to help mold and mentor hundreds of young men and women throughout Greensboro, NC, Guilford County, and the surrounding areas.
The Academy, Modeling, Dance & Leadership, LLC, located in Greensboro, prides itself on being an organization whose focus is to help children see themselves as beautiful, capable, and qualified. Dr. Dee explains, “Our team of qualified instructors takes a holistic approach to prepare its members for leadership and performance opportunities. The mission of The Academy is to offer its members training in collegiate and commercial modeling styles, various dance techniques, and leadership mentoring. Each member participates in community service, service-learning, and fundraising activities. Members are also groomed to showcase their skills in various public arenas, and they are reminded to regularly demonstrate the three Cs: Confidence, Charisma, and Class, on and off stage. Along with the models’ access to training, we encourage them to express their uniqueness. We accomplish this by offering our Tu-Tu Cute Fashions. The models make their own Tutu and implement their own style in fashion. These Tutu’s are also used in fashion shows. ”
At its core, The Academy was birthed from what should be the most common of places: Dr. Dee’s childhood influences. Blessed to have been influenced by three generations of women, Dr. Dee says these women shaped her eye for detail and aesthetics.
