Happy Birthday to the incredible woman behind so much of what makes our studio feel like home!
There truly aren’t enough words to express how much we love and appreciate you. The amount of time, heart, hard work, and dedication you pour into this studio and into every single person who walks through its doors is something so special.
You have taught generations of dancers so much more than technique, performance, and how to become stronger, more beautiful dancers. You teach them how to be kind, confident, hardworking, compassionate, and gracious human beings. You see the person before the dancer, and you have a way of making each student feel loved, important, and capable of more than they ever thought possible.
You are one of the most loving, hardworking, hilarious, and generous people we know. You light up every room you walk into, you make people laugh when they need it most, and you continually go above and beyond for everyone around you — often in ways people may never even realize.
Our studio is what it is because of the love you have poured into it year after year, and we are all better because we have had the privilege of being loved, encouraged, challenged, and taught by you.
We hope today you feel even a small portion of the love and appreciation that you give to everyone else so freely. We love you so much and are incredibly thankful for you. Happy Birthday!
And now we want to fill the comments with a little extra birthday love! If you have been blessed to know her, dance with her, learn from her, or simply share life with her, leave a favorite memory, funny story, or something you love and appreciate about her below. We would love for her to be able to come back and read through all of the lives she has touched.💙🖤
