To my neda family, From my teachers all the way to the bitties, you have all taught me the importance of family. This studio has been a constant in my life, always redirecting me in the right paths and shaping who i am. While I know this is not the end of my dance journey it definitely marks a milestone to which i owe thanks to the best.. ✨Miss Krista, having you ask me to be your assistant was a pivotal moment in my life. I remember the day you asked me and how excited I was when I saw the text. Not only did that start my first steps into teaching it began our bond that helped me through high school. I can’t imagine not having someone like you at college. The relief I felt walking into the studio each day knowing that I’ll have someone there for me is a feeling i will miss. Not only are you an amazing role model and mentor, you are an even better coach who has encouraged my growth throughout our years doing solos together. My two solos, “Heaven” and “Older than I am” are the most important dances i’ve ever done, both relating to my life and both pushing me. Thank you for it all. @kay_bar_14 ✨Miss D and Miss Dawn, the two of you are always there to lift me back up when things get hard. I cannot thank you both enough for the advice you give me, outside and inside of dance. I will always look out for Wisdom Wednesdays. Miss Dawn, your endless smile and radiating energy is encouraging and pushes me through competition weekends. Miss D, your advice regarding life, schools, test grades, dance, etc will always be engraved in my mind. Thank you for starting my whole journey at NEDA @neda_dance ✨Maria, Amanda, Hailey, Lina, Gi Thank you for ALL the laughs back stage and helping me with quick changes.
