PASSION - GROWTH

You were the first dance teacher I had when I finally got back to dance after years of not being able to. I didn’t know what to expect heading back, but the second I walked into the studio I felt your caring and positive energy – that feeling stuck with me week to week. You reminded me why I loved to dance, and helped me find my passion again. My body remembered the steps without me, but you helped my heart find its place in the studio again. You taught me that I was a leader in the room. That even when I felt like a bad dancer and not capable, that there were people in the room waiting to see what I was doing. You challenged me and I could not be more grateful. You forced me to grow, not only as a dancer but as a woman too. I needed that more than I could ever explain. The most important thing that I learned from you was passion. You carry your love for dance on your sleeve and you give a little piece of that to every dancer you meet. Being a part of the dance family that year helped me see that fear is fuel for growth and a natural component of passion. I cannot thank you enough for the time we spent together dancing. I loved every minute. I know you are spreading that love to the new dancers and the returning dancers in your life. Thank you again for all you taught me.
With love,
