Another Ohio Star Ball has come to an end.
This Thanksgiving I am truly reflective and grateful for every moment and opportunity that has led me to where I am today. I’m grateful to God for His gift of the ability to dance - to express myself in connection with others to music. I’m grateful for the harmony created in moments of movement. I’m grateful that He has blessed me with a wonderful talent and student body that keep me uplifted and motivated to always be becoming. We are becoming together: becoming better humans, becoming better friends, becoming better dancers and performers, becoming champions of life. True victors appreciate what has been given to them, and understand the hard work that it takes to transform. True victors don’t worry about results, but dance with confidence in their skills and abilities. True victors achieve without worry or anxiety, and when negative emotions try to creep in they are able to overcome and quell potential resultant obsession. True victors acknowledge the skills of others and don’t let jealousy overshadow their results.
I’m so blessed to be dancing with a group of lovely victors.
Thank you and congratulations to all of my partners for their incredible contributions to another amazing year at Ohio Star Ball.
Cheryle, Joan, Eileen, Alice, Linda, Kirsten, Sandy, Cyndi… I love you all!
From heat 1 to 1000, you were true victors - overcoming injuries and pain, psychological and physical strain. Together we made every final recall in every style, day in and day out. Congratulations on your victories!
God bless 🙏 ❤️
