Dear Parents, Students, and Staff,
As we come together to celebrate another wonderful year of dance at Classic Image, I am filled with gratitude and joy. The end of year recital
is always a special occasion, a time when we witness the growth, dedication, and talent of our young dancers. This year’s theme, “Around our
Town,” has allowed us to not only showcase the beauty of dance, but also to reflect on the importance of building community.
In every dance class, rehearsal, and performance, we have seen how our dancers have formed bonds that extend beyond the studio walls.
They have learned the value of teamwork, support, and collaboration, not just as individuals but as members of a larger community. Just like
the diverse neighborhoods that make up our town, our dance studio is a melting pot of talent, creativity, and friendship.
I want to express my heartfelt thanks to the parents who have entrusted us with their children’s dance education. Your support and
encouragement are invaluable as we work together to nurture the love of dance in each and every student. Your dedication to bringing your
children to class, rehearsals, and performances is truly appreciated and does not go unnoticed.
To our students, I am continually inspired by your passion, hard work, and enthusiasm for dance. You have shown tremendous growth,
not only in your technique but also in your confidence and stage presence. Through dance, you have learned invaluable life lessons about resilience,
perseverance, and grit. You have demonstrated the ability to push through challenges, overcome obstacles, and finish strong even when the journey is not easy. Each
one of you brings something unique to our dance community, and it is a privilege to watch you shine on stage.
Last, but certainly not least, I want to extend my deepest gratitude to our dedicated staff. Your commitment to excellence,
creativity, and mentorship is the driving force behind our studio’s success. From teaching classes to choreographing routines,
to providing endless encouragement, you have played a pivotal role in shaping the dancers and the community we have
become.

As we gather to celebrate our accomplishments, let us also remember the importance of giving back to
our community. Whether it’s through volunteering, supporting local causes, or simply spreading kindness
and positivity, let us continue to build bridges and strengthen the bonds that connect us all.
Thank you once again for another incredible year of dance. I am excited to see where our journey takes us
next as we continue to grow, learn, and dance together.
With gratitude and appreciation,

Ms. Shannon
