BLEU SENIOR REFLECTION!
Each year, in true Bleu tradition, we celebrate our graduating senior men and women and share their own personal "Senior Reflection.” Please join us by celebrating their past achievements and wishing each of them all our love and support as they begin the next chapter of their journey.

Senior Season looks a little different this year, but that doesn't change the fact that we will always be here for each of you and always ready for you to visit your forever “home away from home.” What an honor it has been to watch you grow up before our eyes. Remember that dance will always be a part of your lives. And we will too. We love you so much Senior Bleu Babies!

Megan’s Senior Reflection:
“My time at Studio Bleu started way back in combo classes and then I rejoined in 6th grade. From my years spent at Bleu, I’ve grown more than I could’ve ever imagined. Dancing at Studio Bleu brought out my outgoing and energetic self. I want to thank Ms. Kim for providing me a welcoming community to grow and enjoy myself in. I wouldn’t be who I am today without all the friends I’ve made at Bleu. I also want to thank my teachers, but more specifically Ms. Kate and Ms. Brittany, for putting up with my crazy antics multiple times a week, being people who I can talk to about any problem I’m facing and now being my role models.
I will be continuing my education at Virginia Commonwealth University and majoring in business! Go Rams!!!”

Megan’s Senior Reflection:
“It is hard to put into words how much Studio Bleu has impacted my life from the beginning of my journey 4 1/2 years ago to now. At first I was so shy & nervous....boy did that change.
Being able to walk into the studio day after day has taught more about life & about myself than anything else. A vivid memory i have from my first year at bleu was one time before going on stage for my first glo solo. It was a Nexstar competition & i was about 14 at the time. I was such a nervous wreck and Ms. Kim came straight up to me, took my hands, & shook me saying “when are you going to start believing in yourself the way i believe in you? You are the only person standing in your way and need to see how beautiful you are.” Then she hugged me, kissed my cheek, & essentially pushed me on the stage. She had given me one of the biggest reality checks & amazing life lessons I so desperately needed at the time. From that day forward I started to believe in myself & my dance abilities. I allowed myself to try new things and improve at my own rate.
Soon, the studio began to feel more of a home than my actual home did. It was my safe space, where my dance family lived, and my rock. The one thing in my life that was constant and always waiting there for me, and for this I am eternally grateful.

To my teachers, aka my 2nd moms, at times enemies, sometimes friends, on call therapists, but above of all the best role models. They have taught me how to treat each and every person with respect no matter what someone looks like or their dance ability. Each and every teacher at Bleu has impacted my dancing & my life in so many way and i’m so blessed for all their love, support, and open ears at any times. To highlight a few: Ms. Kate & Ms. Heidi, thank you for showing me how to be kind to all & make me laugh constantly, your positive spirits lift always lift my day.
Ms. Glo, thank you for constantly believing in me, listening to me, pushing me, & loving me like your own. I love you very much.
Ms. Amanda, thank you for pushing me so far out of my comfort zone & allowing me to break my own barriers of movement. You have shaped my own personal movement quality in so many ways & i can’t thank you enough.
Mr. Troy, the kindest & funniest man alive!! Thank you so much for teaching me that hard works can and will always prevail & opening my eyes up to a world I never thought I could enter. You made falling in love with ballet so easy for me. You believed in me more than I ever believed in myself. I can not give enough gratitude for how you’ve shaped me into the dancer & person I am today.
Maggie & Bella, for being the best big sisters & dance teachers all in one. I have so much love and respect for both of you.
Lastly, Ms. Kim. She already knows how much I love and cherish her. But to name a few things i love the most about her: her selflessness, determination, work ethic, positive encouragement, & consistent love never goes unnoticed by me. She is the closet person to me other than my very own mother. I am forever thankful for her love, support, & HORRIBLE 70s/80s music she plays in the studio EVERYDAY without fail.

Now onto my friends, well more like family. If you know me you I love others (especially those close to me) with my whole entire being. It’s how i’m wired & I could go on for hours about how much my friends mean to me. We have truly been through blood, sweat, tears, & so much more together. I’m so blessed to have been able to watch them grow both as dancers and humans throughout the years. I could watch each and every one of you dance for hours and would be the happiest person alive. I love you all forever. Thank you for everything.

As some may know, this past year I spent training with The Washington Ballet and Bleu at the same time. So coming into my senior year, I had no doubt in my mind that I wanted to skip college for now and become a dancer. So therefore, I put the trust in myself and did not apply to any schools like my fellow peers did. Little did I know how much struggles come with being a dancer. In the months leading up to quarantine I was at one of the lowest places of my life. I hated myself, how I looked, & most of all the way I danced. So after taking a step back to reassess, I’ve decided to stop dancing. To be honest, I’ve been so scared to tell anyone this news; my family, friends, and dance teachers. I didn’t want anyone to feel as though I failed. But I believe this is what is truly best for me, my mental health, and my long term happiness. With all that being said, I will be attending classes at NOVA and will transfer into a bigger 4 year university within a year (hopefully JMU, go dukes!!). I am excited for this next chapter in my life but will forever hold Studio Bleu close to my heart.

To my younger Bleu babies: CHERISH EVERY MOMENT. Every lecture, every 10 hour Saturday rehearsal, every 7-11 trip, & every time you are able to step into the studio. It goes so much faster than you want it to.

Studio Bleu, my home away from home, safe space, & best place on earth; I love you & thank you.”

With Love,
Megan Cassidy
