🎓✨ Congratulations to our beautiful Serena on graduating from high school!

For as long as many of us can remember, Serena has been a part of our LTFE family. From dancing her first steps on stage to growing into a talented and confident young woman, it has been a joy to watch her journey unfold.

Through countless rehearsals, performances, festivals, and memories, she has shared her energy, dedication, and love for our culture with everyone around her. We are so proud of all she has accomplished both on and off the dance floor.

As she begins this exciting new chapter, we wish her success, happiness, and endless opportunities ahead. No matter where life takes her, she will always be a cherished part of our dance family.

We can't wait to see all the amazing things your future holds.

Congratulations to our directors Tom and Cathy Katrenich on celebrating 40 years of marriage yesterday!

Last weekend, we were blessed to celebrate this incredible milestone with you both. Your love, dedication, and commitment to one another have been an inspiration to so many throughout the years.

We truly wouldn’t be where we are today without your passion for our cultures, traditions, faith, and community. The time, care, and love you have poured into preserving and sharing them have touched generations and continue to bring people together.

Thank you for all that you do and for the example you continue to set. May God grant you many more happy, healthy, and blessed years together!
