I’m going into my 4th season this month and I absolutely adore the studio and the teachers and staff and fellow dancers. The one behind it all is Kimmie. Kimmie wants nothing but the best for all of the kids. She does so much for us! She spends hours on hours, weeks on weeks stoning our costumes. She’s always finding new amazing opportunities for us. I’m beyond grateful for everything that the studio has done for me! My absolute favourite place is the studio, it’s all I ever talk about or think about!
