thank you, thank you, thank you

Well, Piece by Piece is in the books.  It's part of our memories now.  That's the beauty of dance; you have to perform it.  You have to step onto the stage and do it in real time.  Once you're out there, anything can happen.  You might fall on your face, or you might fly.  Either way, you'll make a new memory.

Thank you all for being part of this.  It's now something we share.  We were there, and we did it.   A huge, enormous "thank you" to everyone who helped.  Something like this could never be without a lot, a lot of teamwork.  To all the people who helped move students, watched dressing rooms, helped build and paint props, designed and operated lights, mixed music, ran sound, worked the ticket table...  I could go on and on, but I hope you see the point.  Without a single one of you, Piece by Piece would not have been possible.  I cannot thank you enough.

And to the students of Dance Unlimited, my wonderful, beautiful dancers, I want to tell you how proud I am of each and every one of you.  You guys pushed yourselves.  You risked the falling so that today you could fly.

See you in August.
