I’m so incredibly grateful to have received the Teacher of the Year award at last night’s @scottishdanceawards This recognition means so much, but it truly reflects the amazing support I’m lucky to have around me every day @larbertdance and @csbs_dancer I’ve been guided and inspired by wonderful mentors, and surrounded by colleagues who constantly encourage, challenge, and uplift me. To my students – thank you for your energy, commitment, and joy. You are the reason I love what I do, and you inspire me just as much as I hope to inspire you. I feel so proud to be part of such a special and supportive dance community, and I’m excited to keep learning, growing, and sharing this passion every dayπŸ’› #TeacherOfTheYear #ScottishDance #DanceTeacher #GratefulHeart #DanceCommunity #Inspired #LoveWhatIDo #Mentorship #Teamwork #ProudMoment #KeepDancing #Thankful by @mcalisterdance
