This has been an amazing journey as as a dance teacher, choreographer and studio owner! Whew! I made it through my final day in class with 1 more week to our show. I have so many ppl to thank. Let's start with this amazing group of teachers. To Ms. Lisa, Ms. Breana, Md. Shante, Ms. Roxanne and Ms. Wanda and my teaching assistant Ms. Geralynn, words cannot express my gratitude for you. We are family and I could not do what I do without you. To all my students, I am so proud of each one of you. To all the parents, thank you for your support especially for those who keep sending back their children year after year!

This has been such a community space as well. Thanks to Ms. Krista, Marie Basse Wiles and to all the artists and teaching artists that have used the space and kept my business going. Thanks for making Aspire your home.

Now, I have lots to do to prepare for next week. Some ppl asked me for show info. Here it is: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/aspire-2-dance-annual-recital-tickets-339044409957

If you can make it great. You know it's going to be my grand finale! But, if you can't make it, just know I appreciate you and now you can catch me like most ppl on a Saturday because I'll have my time back. Im looking forward to my next chapter! Thank you all for the years of support in this special part of my life!

Getting ready for our 12th annual recital! During Covid we've had to make lemonade out of lemons, but I am so proud of these kids for pushing through. And I'm also thankful to the parents who allowed their kids to participate during this year! It's going down tomorrow at 1pm! Getting ready!!!!

I'm so bad at posting, but I wanted to share this moment of celebration from this past Saurday's class. The last class of 2020. Happy birthday to Amari who turned 5! His mom wanted him to celebrate with other kids around. Love my babies!
