I truly cannot express the joy, gratitude, and pride I feel after this weekend's recital.
First and foremost, thank you to all of our dancers and families. To our dancers, I am beyond proud of each and every one of you. You lit up that stage with your talent, confidence, hard work, and beautiful smiles. Watching you perform and celebrate all that you accomplished this year was an absolute gift.
To our parents, thank you for everything you do behind the scenes. Thank you for reading the countless emails, checking BAND notifications, managing schedules, costumes, hair, makeup, and all the little details that make recital weekend possible. Your dedication and support help your dancers succeed, and they help our studio succeed as well. We could not do this without you.
To my incredible staff, thank you from the bottom of my heart. This was my 20th Anniversary recital, and you made it more special than I could have ever imagined. For the first time in 20 years, I was able to sit in the audience and watch all of the production numbers unfold alongside our families. It was an experience I will treasure forever.
Miss Christina, Miss Kelsey, Miss Norma, Miss Jacquie, Miss Allison, Miss Rebecca, and Miss Jojo, thank you for your dedication, talent, friendship, and unwavering support. Each of you brings something unique and special to All About Dance, and I am so grateful to have you by my side. I love you all more than words can say.
A heartfelt thank you to all of our Room Moms and backstage volunteers. Your hard work, patience, and willingness to jump in wherever needed helped everything run smoothly. The care you give our dancers does not go unnoticed, and we simply could not do this without you.
And finally, a very special thank you to our AAD Rhythm Boosters. Everything you have done this year has meant the world to me. From organizing our first ever banquet, to beautifully decorating the auditorium for recital, to supporting countless fundraisers and bringing fresh ideas to the studio, you have helped create such a wonderful sense of community within All About Dance.
Your time, energy, enthusiasm, and love have enriched our studio in so many ways, and I am incredibly grateful for each and every one of you.
Thank you all for making this 20th Anniversary season one that I will never forget. My heart is so full.
With love and gratitude,
Miss Lisa ❤️
