Powerful & special moments that matter🤍 Thank you @deena_bryan for sharing and congratulations @illuminatedanceandartscenter 💜

“This is my dream team and it was their last competition together as a whole before 4 of them graduate and leave for college. This was the first dance of the last they would perform together and the last time they would do these specific pieces together. On stage, they are magical together and as students and people, I love them dearly. I told them, to be honest, that teaching them has been the greatest part of my career and I thanked them all for helping me and my daughters through the absolute worst thing that could ever happen. I just wanted to enjoy their last performances together and be in that moment with the art we created together.” ~ Deena Bryan
