Wow! What an incredible two nights of dance! The past two nights were filled with unforgettable memories, so much excitement, and, of course, amazing dancing. I am still overflowing with pride and gratitude for every single person who stepped on that stage and helped make these performances truly special.
To my incredible dancers: Your talent, dedication, and passion continue to inspire me every day. The hard work you put into each routine was evident in every performance, and your energy lit up the stage from beginning to end. I am beyond thankful to have such amazing individuals as part of our dance family.
To my seniors: You will always hold such a special place in my heart. Watching each of you grow into the beautiful dancers and people you are today has been one of my greatest joys. You are forever family, and I will cherish all the memories we’ve created together.
To my teachers and office staff— Micah, Shai, Isabel, Lindsay, Aubree, Jaycee, and Alyssa, Rhonda, Madison: Thank you for your constant support, guidance, and dedication. None of this would be possible without each of you. Your passion for teaching and love for our dancers means more than words can express, and I’m so grateful to have you by my side.
A huge thank you to our amazing raffle committee for going above and beyond to secure such incredible prizes. Your hard work helped make this celebration even more memorable, and I appreciate everything you did.

A heartfelt thank you to Tami, David, Ron, Sandra, Braxton, Gayla, for ticket sales, backstage Leni help, and staying to help with cleanup both nights. It truly takes a village to make a weekend like this possible, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you.
Thank you, Eric Deweese, for being the absolute best sound guy around. We truly couldn’t do these shows without you.

My heart is so full after these two nights. Thank you to every dancer, teacher, parent, volunteer, family member, and supporter who continues to make this studio such a special place. The love, encouragement, and dedication shown by this dance family means more to me than words can say.
