Today was a very special, full circle meeting between two special people. 💞🩰

Miss Stephanie performed at Tiffany Village with Kittiwake Ballet and Miss Connie’s childhood ballet teacher Judy Fagan was in the audience. Needless to say, Mrs. Fagan truly loved the performance and was thrilled to learn that Stephanie is a teacher at Connie Parsons School of Dance. Connie Parsons assumed ownership of Judy Fagan School of Dancing in 1996 when her teacher retired.

More beautiful students are graduating 🎓 and it’s such an incredible honour to have been a part of their journey. Nothing makes me happier than seeing these young ladies succeed. So, when they ask to take a photograph in the studio on their special day, the answer will always be yes!! 🩰
One more to go on Saturday. Can’t wait to see her dress too!! Congratulations Emily, Chloe, Caroline, Gillian, Ella & Katie. Excellent dancers & excellent people. BRAVO 👏

Happy Father’s Day to all the dance dads out there supporting little people & big dreams! Connie Parsons School Of Dance
