To our seniors, Piper and Ava...
Watching you grow into the dancers and young women you are today has been one of our greatest joys. You came to us with talent, but what you've given us is so much more - your grace, your kindness, your leadership, and the way you've poured your hearts into this art.
Both Piper and Ava have trained in the prestigious dance program at the Alabama School of Fine Arts (), where they have been shaped into the exceptional artists they are today. We are so honored to have been part of their journey alongside such an incredible program.
Piper, your UBC Legacy Award at the Bartlett Regionals - the highest honor in your age division - is a testament to years of dedication and the beautiful spirit you bring to every single performance. And Ava, your commitment and heart have inspired everyone around you in ways you may not even fully realize.
Now, Piper heads to UNCSA and Ava to the University of Cincinnati - two exceptional programs for two exceptional young women. 🤍
..but before they go, both Piper and Ava will take the stage one more time together performing in the prestigious Gala at Grand Prix Finals in Houston at the end of this month, an honor reserved exclusively for the top winners of the competition. We could not be prouder to watch them shine on that stage.
The younger dancers at Mt Laurel Ballet have watched you, learned from you, and looked up to you. That is the kind of legacy that no award can fully capture.
We are so incredibly proud of you both. Your future is so very bright. 🤍
