CYDNEY O 〰️ EVIE P 〰️ MAYELI V 〰️ MORGAN T 〰️

From the first time you laced up your ballet shoes to the countless hours of practice and rehearsal, we've seen you pour your heart into every step, every leap, every turn. The discipline, passion, and grace you’ve shown both in the studio and on the stage have been nothing short of inspiring. It would be hard to find someone who has grown as a dancer more than you have.

As you step into this next chapter, we want you to know how deeply proud we are of you. Thank you for sharing your light with us. We can’t wait to see where dance will take you next, and we’ll be cheering you on every step of the way.

With all our love and pride,

Mom, Codi and Cassius

Dearest Evie, 

How are we already here? It feels like just yesterday you stepped onto the stage for the first time and were instantly in the place you belonged! We are so proud of you and everything you have accomplished. We are so proud of you for never giving up through the late nights and the early mornings, the injuries and the exhaustion of being stretched to the limit. You have taught us what it means to have passion, fortitude and an unwavering dedication to what you love. Dance has been the gift that you were born to share with the world, and while one part of your journey is ending, the next is opening wide! No matter where life takes you, we feel incredibly blessed knowing we will have a front row seat.

From a very early age, it was clear that dance was in your heart. Your natural talent and grace made every routine look effortless. From early mornings to late nights, your dedication has shaped you into the talented, strong young woman you are today.

Balancing school, sports, AC dance team, and studio dance was no easy feat, yet you managed it with poise and determination. Your leadership and commitment have been an inspiration to everyone around you.

As you step into your next chapter, take with you all the beautiful memories you’ve created along the way—they will guide you as you continue to grow. Words cannot express how proud we are of you. We feel so fortunate to have witnessed your journey and to see the incredible young lady you've become.
