Rhee, you are ALWAYS spot on!!! I LOVE seeing my former dancers come back for a little visit, and keeping up with them as they grow up and become fabulous adults! They always make me proud!!!🫶🏼❤️🤍🖤🫶🏼
Your former students are your real tophies.
Not because they all became professional dancers.
Most of them didn’t.
They became nurses, teachers, parents, entrepreneurs, artists, accountants, business owners, and a hundred other things.
But somewhere inside those adults is still the child who stood at your barre.
The child who learned how to walk into a room with confidence.
Who learned how to take a correction without giving up.
Who learned how to work with other people, show up prepared, perform when they were nervous, and keep going when something didn’t come easily.
And every once in a while, one of them comes back.
Maybe they tell you they still remember something you said when they were 12.
Something you probably don’t even remember saying.
That’s when you realize what this job really is.
The trophies eventually collect dust.
The people you helped shape go out into the world.
That may be the greatest legacy a dance teacher can have.
