Saying I’m proud is an understatement.
If you know me, then you know that the dance studio and the stage were my second home growing up. To watch our beautiful BellaMia step onto that stage last night with the biggest smile on her face is a feeling I can’t even begin to explain.
Of course Mommy cried. Not only because I was watching my dreams of being a dance mom unfold right before my eyes, and not only because she went out there and absolutely killed it, because difference between last year and this year is incredible. Last year, we weren’t even sure if she would go on stage without Mommy. This year, she didn’t think twice about it. Her confidence, personality, stage presence, and independence have grown so much in such a short amount of time.
I owe so much of that to our family at DXNY. Their patience, understanding, and dedication to helping these little ones thrive is truly amazing.
BellaMia, when you told me after the show that you loved being on stage, tears filled my eyes. Hold onto that feeling, sweet girl, because it never goes away. Even to this day, I remember that feeling. I watched you up there and knew exactly what was in your heart. There is truly nothing like being on that stage.
I love that you love this. I love watching your passion grow. And if you’re anything like Mommy, that feeling will stay with you forever.
I can’t wait to see where this journey takes you and all the years to come. We are so proud of you, BellaMia. Keep shining, sweet girl. ✨💖 THANK YOI for everything !!!! Thank you to for this year!!! your the best!!! 🩷
