Another NUVO Dance Convention in the books for Studio 49!
I had lots of fun catching up with my amazing friends at Alaska Dance Theatre, Emma, Blair and Sari! ❤️❤️❤️👏👏👏👏
I Loved getting to see the beautiful ADT dancers that I love and get to work with from time to time! Stunning work!
I Got to catch up and take a stroll down memory lane with MY teacher, Barbara and Tori from Barbara’s school of Dance. 🥰 best lunch ever!
Thank you NUVO, Ronnie (we miss you Kristin) all the NUVO faculty and staff! We appreciate You and thank you for your gift of dance. 💖
I’d love to thank my staff, most of all.
Kaitlyn for doing WAY more than anyone knows. Spray tans, hair, front desk, assisting, costumes, hair, props, mental and moral support, hair, organizing, hair… the list goes on and I’m sure I annoy her. 😂🥰💖💖
BRian for brains, muscle, inspiration, helping everyone with anything, surprise phone selfies, pep talks, silliness, mental and emotional support, herding cats, I mean dancers… and so so much more! 🫶🏼🌟
Maila for being a fabulous teacher, support system, for helping with literally everything, making sure all the wheels are greased and being a true friend and a loving person. You always have a home here. 🌟💛
Sarah for being a breath of fresh air and bringing stability to a crazy world. For being a fresh eye and having a new approach to classes and just being an unbelievable support to myself and all the dancers.
I’m so happy you are with us! 🔥❤️
Samantha, Kristin and Hannah for being the most amazing ballet teachers ever! These dancers wouldn’t be what they are without you lovelies! You three forever have my heart. 💛 💕🖤💗
Taryn for being an unstoppable force as our ballroom teacher! You have given these kids such a gift and I am forever thankful! Enjoy your baby-vacation, we miss you!!! 🐣🍼💕💕
To my helpers:
Zoua for being an amazing student assistant and stepping into the role so perfectly. She makes teaching that much more fun and I don’t want to do it without you! 💕🖤💖
Brooke for stepping into an incredible leader role and assisting me as well as helping me through this process in ways that no one can understand, even her…❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Claire for being an amazing support for myself, the other teachers and all the dancers. Your love for your team is seen and appreciated far more than I can express. 🌟💖🥰
To my alumni Taelynn, Kaitlyn and Trinity!
For guest teaching, choreo, inspiration, love, guidance and assuring me I’m not crazy 🤪
If I had my way, we’d all live in a commune together and dance together every day. 🔥💕🖤💖
To my dance parents:
All of you kick butt!! Thank you for trusting us with your babies, we want the world for them and are trying to help them get it! There are a few of you that go above and beyond. You know who you are and I love you. Thank you. 🙏🏻 😊
It really does take a village and I’m happy to call this village my home. There’s nothing like our Studio 49 family. 🖤💕🖤
To my dancers:
You inspire me every day. You’ve worked so hard for all you have achieved. Never let a failure stop you and never dim your light for any reason! Stay positive, Keep pushing yourself forward and chasing your goals. What’s meant for you will find you. We have so much love for each and every one of you. My story unfolded so strategically so that your story could play out. Let’s keep creating and see where it takes us!
