I would sometimes wish that one more time actually meant one more time but every dancer knows one more time ends up being 3 to 5 more times. As Recital approaches I actually wish that one more time didn't mean one last time. I would do the routine 100 more times if it meant you would stay longer. Although I only danced for you a few years I learned so much and became a better dancer just within those few years. You weren't only my instructor, you were a role model and a friend, and you have helped shape me into the young woman I am today. Without you I wouldn't have even kept dancing. You made me love styles that I thought I hated before I came to you. Because of you, I am lucky enough to be able to continue my dance career in college. I hope you know that you're like a mom to me and my fellow class mates. It saddens me that I did not get to dance with you longer but I hope you never stop dancing no matter where you go. You worked so hard to get your classes where they are today receiving multiple high achieving awards. You believed in us and I cannot thank you enough for that. There is never going to be anyone that can replace you. You're legacy as an instructor at one of the most high class, good sportsmanship, fun, friendly, and last of all talented studios will never be erased. You're the best teacher I have ever had. I just want you to know that every time I perform now I'm going to dance like it's the last time I ever will. Thank you for giving me a second home and I wish you the best of luck wherever you go.
