It’s hard to put into words what it’s like to say goodbye to the place that practically raised you. For the last eight years, this studio has been my second home and my safe space, which makes it even harder to believe this chapter has come to an end.

To my teachers- @rach.lindley @dbordonali
@biancalinjones @melmxrie @toidimud @bonni.elle Thank you for creating a space so full of love and dedication that growing up here felt like such a privilege. Every rehearsal, every pep talk, and every memory have made me both the dancer and the person I am today, and I’m forever grateful and so proud to have had you all by my side throughout this journey.

To my team- Thank you for making every late night, every laugh, every deep convo, and every competition worth it. You’ve all inspired me, pushed me, and filled my life with so much joy. I can’t wait to watch you all continue to grow and shine, and I promise to always be the loudest one cheering you on from the sidelines. Thank you for making these last few years the very best ones. I love you all so much.

To my parents- Thank you for every drive to and from the studio, every dollar spent, and every moment of patience (especially with my competition morning moods lol). You gave me the greatest gift by enrolling me in the thing that would go on to shape my entire life and I am so grateful to have had your love and support with me through everything.

Growing up as a dancer, this studio brought some truly incredible people and families into my life. The relationships I’ve built and the memories shared over the last eight years will have an everlasting impact on me.

Through everything, dance -and this studio- have been the one constant love in my life. The place I always came back to and the thing that never once let me down. I’m grateful for every opportunity this studio has given me and all the lessons I’ve learned over the years. I’ll carry these memories, and the people who made them so special, close to my heart wherever life takes me next.

Forever and always, an RDC dancer 💙💙
