Each year at our last recital, the senior dancers say goodbye and there is not a dry eye in the place.  Our Studio Owner reflects on the dancers and her time spent watching them grow both as dancers and into young women.  It is bittersweet.  The dancers are ready for their next phase of life, but thoughts of leaving life long friends, teammates, teachers and family seem to hit them in that moment.  In the midst of tears and sadness, there is beauty.  Beauty that these dancers have grown to love these people and the art of dance so much.  Some of these girls have aspirations to have a career in dance, others are excited to be a part of a college dance team and some, while they enjoy dance, are ready to leave it behind and begin to make their mark in different areas.   Listed below are a few “Goodbye Quotes” for those dancers leaving the comfort of home and moving on to new adventures.
