My Lovely Dancers-

My Lovely Dancers- 


I cannot believe how brilliant all of you are. It is amazing that only two or three of you have had dance training before because let me tell you- the girls on my competitive team take at least 3 months to learn a full routine AND they are always complaining. Y'all did not complain at all. You were attentive, alert, willing, and trusting. Thank you for letting silly ol' me lead you blindly "into the storm."


I have never seen such dedicated, hard-working, talented, or sweet girls in my life. I am so thrilled to work with such a professional group of dancers! All of y'all have displayed amazing talent, so do not let anyone tell you otherwise! The work y'all have accomplished speaks for itself. 


When I signed up for my major- a BFA in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Theatre For Youth- I was asked to elaborate on what I planned to do with this degree as far as a career goes. I replied, "I would like to teach high school students in a conservatory setting so that they are inspired and experienced enough to achieve their dreams- whatever they may be." I thought this idea was a little bit idyllic and utopian, but today you have proved me wrong. The kind of work we did to day is what I've dreamed of; it is exactly what I want to do with my life. Thank you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. 


And just think- we have the foundation well in place. Now we can spend 2 and a half weeks making it flawless! We've seen what we can do in two days... imagine two weeks! Move over So You Think You Can Dance, because the Ariels know we can dance! 


I am loving getting to know everyone, and by the end of the summer I know we will be a true dance family. 


See y'all tomorrow! (Don't forget to stretch!!)
