Twenty years. Whew. 💛
As I sit here reflecting on this past weekend, I honestly don’t even know how to put into words what my heart is feeling. Our 20th Anniversary “Grit & Grace” shows were everything I hoped for and more.
To every dancer who stepped on that stage — thank you for sharing your talent, bravery, passion, and heart. Watching you grow into the performers and people you are becoming is the greatest gift.
To our families — thank you for the rides, the quick dinners, the late nights, the support, the cheering, the trust, and for allowing us to be a part of your children’s lives year after year.
To our staff, assistants, backstage crew, volunteers, costume helpers, tech crew, alumni, and every single person who played a role in making this production happen — thank you. So much happens behind the scenes that the audience never sees, and this celebration simply would not have been possible without all of you.
To those who have been with us for one season or twenty… thank you for helping build this little dream into a community filled with love, laughter, glitter, hard work, growth, and memories that will last forever.
20 years of dance.
20 years of friendships.
20 years of lessons, passion, grit, grace, and IMPACT.
And somehow… it still feels like we’re just getting started. ✨
With all my love and gratitude,
Jennifer
