A fun Miss Lori fact for those that don’t know.

As we hit year 30 of the dance studio, I started with the Butler Kickline in summer of 1993 as the Director /Choreographer at age 20. Soooooooo many memories especially in August when a new season kicked off. With the encouragement of my dance families, the thought of “you should open a dance studio came to fruition!! A couple years later I switched my major to dance & opened the studio in 1997. When I think of the talent & success of the football seasons leading to incredible competition seasons I blink & think where did time go?!?!

Truly blessed.

Pic popped up in my memories today of one of my groups 💜💛
