CONGRATULATIONS to our dancers! It’s truly a thrill to watch them dance at the Christmas Classic. We saw so many good things happening, not just the winning of ribbons and medals. Lots of confidence gained, fears overcome, partnership skills grown, stamina increased and overall a positive experience for everyone!
And parents - a big shout out to all of you! These are long hard (not just the bleachers) days, and right in the middle of prime-time Christmas shopping. Thank you for your support of your children in this activity. They will thank you someday (when they’re the ones sitting for hours on hard bleachers watching their children do something they love, or are just learning, or that they made them do …).
