“ESDA has always been my second home. It is a family of amazing teachers and my closest friends that I am thankful for every day. Dance has shaped me into who I am. I’ve learned the importance of determination, patience, and grace from the many classes throughout the years, but most importantly, I’ve learned that dance is something that makes me truly happy. I leave every class with a smile on my face. From dancers I looked up to as a young girl to my fellow seniors that I have the privilege of dancing with almost every day, dance has given me the best role models, and the chance to be one myself in the classes I assist with. I am going to miss my ESDA family like crazy, but I know that I am a better dancer and person because of this fantastic studio!!”
Congratulations Abby! We are so proud of you.
