Over the years we have had many amazing dancers from many different countries.

What we learned from them is that we are all incredibly lucky to be living in the United States.

So today, let all of us celebrate this Independence Day and the people who have helped to make this such an amazing county.

Happy Independence Day 🇺🇸🎇💫
