Special thanks:
Archbishop Riordan High School and Viggen Rassam.
My two sons Julius and Jonah for helping with the flower sales and to my family for allowing our home to be taken over by costumes boxes, sequins, feathers, and various sewing and hot glue projects in preparation for the big show.
My amazing staff for a wonderful year of dance and for all of the extras you do in preparation for the performance. Our collaboration creates a truly special production.
Thanks to all of the parent volunteers for helping during the show and to all of our dancers for coming to class and working so hard to learn their dances.
And a big thanks to all of our audience members for coming and supporting Steppin' Out Dance Studio! I'm inspired by the support in this community and I'm excited to continue to grow the studio's offerings in the years ahead. Dance is a wonderful gift to share. I hope you enjoy the show!
