Words cannot explain how incredibly honored I am to have been named a National YoungArts Merit winner in Dance/Jazz! 🥳 Thank you @youngarts for gracing me with not one, but two Merit awards, first in Hip Hop last year, and now in Jazz! 💙 Thank you to @dance_lag for providing me with the environment and tools to grow as a dancer and for continued guidance and support. I am so happy to consider myself a part of the LaGuardia legacy! 🙏🏼 A very special thank you to Ms. Brienza for creating these two Jazz solos for me! You’ve continued to follow my brother and I’s journey for quite a few years now and I am so grateful to have finally gotten to create some magic with you. ✨ Thank you to @iamboyboi and @kenichi.kasamatsu for also creating solos for me for my Hip Hop submission! Absolutely loved working with you both 🤍 To @msaagency @deshawn_da_prince @aimacademynj @sndancenj @shellywood816 @iamphresh_ @monstersdance and @alexander.chung , thank you for making me the dancer and artist I am today, and for being a part of my journey 🫶🏼 Last but not least, I want thank the best family there is. To mom @armie_farcon and dad @eddiefarcon , a million thank you’s from the bottom of my heart for absolutely everything. For supporting my dreams, for all of your sacrifices, guidance, and love. I would not be the person I am today without my roots. And to @jaryd_farcon , thank you for being the best older brother to me. You are one of my biggest inspirations, role models, and the sole reason I wanted to dance in the first place. I am so humbled to follow in your footsteps and receive the same award you did in your senior year! ❤️ Congrats to all of the 2023 winners! 🤩
