My name is Riley Carr and I have been dancing at The Ballet Studio since I was three years old. I am currently a senior at Notre Dame High School where I am President of the Student Body. I also play varsity soccer, varsity cheer, and varsity lacrosse for Notre Dame. Dancing has always been one of my greatest passions as you can see by the smile on my face when I step on stage. I will cherish the great memories I have made and the awesome teachers at TBS. For my final year, I am lucky enough to dance with my niece, Josephine, who is starting her first year at TBS. I am so thankful for all the lessons that TBS has taught me and Ava, Aunt Alicia, and Ms. Lisa for making this experience unforgettable. Always remember to keep on dancing!!

Hello my name is Suzanna and I am looking forward to my upcoming final dance season at TBS! I have danced since I was 3 years old. However I started at TBS when I was 8 years old and I have loved it ever since. Outside of dance I enjoy golfing and hanging out with my friends. I am mostly going to miss competing with my dance friends once this year is over. Although we have many memories that will last forever. For my next 4 years, I plan on going to college and majoring in criminal justice!

For as long as I can remember, TBS has been a significant part of my life. I began dancing at The Ballet Studio when I was just 3 years old. Although I was a very shy little girl, I always loved performing. After joining the competition team and gaining more confidence on stage, I knew that dancing was something I would cherish forever. I started attending classes multiple times a week, using dance as an outlet to express myself. The lasting friendships I've made here have made me truly grateful for being in such a positive environment with my teammates who care for each other like family. I am especially thankful for my mom, Miss Sherri, who has been the most positive and wonderful role model in my life, inspiring me everyday. A heartfelt thank you to Miss Lisa and all the staff at TBS for their unwavering support in both my dancing and my personal life. Although this year is filled with emotions, I am excited to make the most of my final year with my TBS family!

I have been dancing at The Ballet Studio since I was five years old. Throughout my time at TBS, I have made many valuable friendships and connections with my peers and my teachers, which I am eternally grateful for. Dance has brought so much into my life; besides the physical aspect, it has taught me many lessons in which I will be able to apply to my life from here on out. Lessons including the importance of showing up for your team, putting in the maximum amount of effort at all times, and most importantly having confidence in yourself. I will forever be thankful for everything dance has provided me with and my memories at The Ballet Studio will be memories that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

I started dancing at just three years old. My mom was a TBS dancer and it has been an honor to carry on that tradition. Over the past few years I have been lucky enough to share the stage with my little sister, and being able to perform with her is such a blessing. I am so beyond thankful for the everything TBS has given me. Without dance, I wouldn't be the person I am today. Dance gave me some of my best friends and I am so excited to be able to spend one final year with them.
