SHOOTING STARS, you are the epitome of what it means to be a team. You seven have come together the last two weeks and shown resilience, perseverance, determination, and going above and beyond of what was originally asked of you. Cue the tears🥲 I can’t tell you enough of how much that means to me. You’ve shown so much heart for each other, stayed incredibly positive, and your attitudes are beyond optimistic. I love seeing you high five each other, you consistently tell each other, “we’ve got this”, your matching outfits at practice were precious, and your hugs before you leave were full of love. Even though it’s been difficult, not a single one of you complained, not a single one of you missed a practice, and not a single one of you gave up. Instead, you came to double the practices, you attended parking lot practices where we were so sweaty we couldn’t grab partner hands, and you had a smile on your face the whole time! My heart radiates with love for you guys, and I’m so impressed by your ability to handle the situation that was thrown at you. The amount of extra studio time and practice you’ve put in, WILL PAY OFF! All of the tears and the sweat, WILL MAKE YOU STRONGER! Shooting Stars, I am lucky to be your teacher and your coach, and I can’t wait to take the stage and dance with you.
