Still trying to find the words for a season that meant so much. More than anything, I’m grateful for the people! This team has brought some of the most genuine friendships and meaningful memories into my life, and I wouldn’t trade this chapter for anything. So thankful I got to share the stage with this year’s seniors one last time, and I can’t wait to see what one last season has in store! 🥲🤍✨

my forever family ♾️

Thank you to my teachers that constantly pushed my to be the greatest dancer that I can be. Thank you for the mentorship and guidance to achieve my dreams. Most importantly, thank you to the ones I got to do everything with.

Thank you for being my supporters and my best friends. I will never forget the long nights, tears, laughs, memories, and inside jokes that we all created. I will miss dancing and sharing the stage with you all. I will forever miss the adrenaline rush, pushing deeper to find energy, and hearing cheers when dancing. Even though I’m continuing my dance career, nothing will ever compare to this. I know not many people have the opportunity to have a sisterhood like the one we created and for that I am blessed. 🙏🤍🤍

Dance and the people shaped me into the person I am today, and for that I am forever grateful. I will always cherish the memories we all made together. Don’t be strangers! I love you all so much 💗😭 alright time to go cry

The End, closing one of the most important chapters of my life.

It doesn’t feel real that my time with this dance family has come to an end. I’m going to miss spending every night with this special group of people. The love runs so deep. Dance has been and will continue to be there through it all, and i’m so grateful for the experiences i’ve had alongside the best group of people. A part of me will forever be left on that stage with this team.

Ending this season on top as Grand Champions was the most perfect way to end my time as a competitive dancer.
I’m so proud of us. Always.❤️

Kate McCannon out.

My first love, my passion, my life. Having to close the chapter of my life that has completely shaped who I am is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. The last 16 years, along with the family I have gained, will forever be held so close to my heart. Thank you, Miss Krystin and Abby, for your unwavering belief in me and your constant push to form the dancer I became. Thank you to my dance family for giving me a sisterhood I will carry with me forever. Thank you, Mom and Dad, for showing up and supporting me without fail (even when my nerves made me unpleasant). I am eternally grateful and blessed to have something that is so hard to let go of. Lih Shih Dih ♾️♾️

It’s strange how something that has been such a huge part of your life can end on a random Sunday.

Thank you, Lake Shore Dance, for everything. Thank you for 17 unforgettable years filled with friendships, laughter, challenges, and memories that I will carry with me forever. Dance has shaped so much of who I am, and walking away from something that has been a part of me for so long is a feeling I can’t quite put into words.

To all of my teachers, thank you for believing in me, pushing me to be my best, and helping me grow not only as a dancer, but as a person. The lessons you’ve taught me go far beyond the studio, and I will always be grateful for the time, patience, and love you’ve given me.

To everyone I’ve grown up dancing alongside, thank you for the countless memories, inside jokes, competitions, rehearsals, and moments we’ll never get back. I’m so thankful for every friendship I’ve made and every person who made Lake Shore Dance feel like a second home.

I truly have no regrets. Thank you for an incredible 17 years. Lake Shore Dance will always hold a special place in my heart. 🤍
