"Hi Nikki, The recital was just
wonderful!!! ... All of
the students did a great job and the professionalism of the
studio really showed through. I am sure you are proud of all the
students but also should be proud of yourself and Miss Shon.
It really was a great show."

"Once again a fabulous performance.
Darby & Riley loved dancing at the bandstand. It also gives
folks a chance to see the show that didn't come to the recital.
I had 2 people in the crowd ask me about "what dance studio is
this? and where are they? These girls are great!" ... I feel
really blessed that you are the girls dance instructor. You run
a great studio, so many details and its obvious your love of
dancing as well as your love for your students. This is an
important part of young girls developing self confidence,
coordination, and discipline. Thank you for all you do to make
your program the best around."

experience (Pulse Tour) and to let you know that you never cease
to amaze me with your organizational skills and take-charge
attitude. Also, this is the first time I've seen you and Shon dance. You are
truly awesome dancers. Wow!" |
