We are strong, confident, and beautiful inside & out. We are dancers! Let’s cheer each other on this weekend like crazy! Send a text to a fellow dancer to tell them they’re doing awesome, write a card to your teacher who loves you and cares about you (means more than you will ever know), high five a little princess dancer or b-boy and tell them they rock, smile and thank a back-stage mom or dad helper (and mean it), pick up someone else’s garbage and throw it away, hug your mom and dad and thank them for all they have done for you to get you here!! There are so many things we can do to show kindness and love this weekend above and beyond how we rock it on stage! Let’s do this!! ??#balleraenarecital2018
