Beautiful Miss Nia :)
Thank you, Ms. Robin! You're so kind and I miss you so much <3
F*ck yeah!
Guuuuurrrrrlllll get it! Going with you next time!
YES!
.
First
Thank you for making the point that students should study the "pure" form of dance technique (modern, jazz, ballet) before jumping into contemporary dance. If not, dancers do not look as clean in their technique as they should.
Thanks, Sue! That means so much coming from you, and you're absolutely right :)
Clearly well explained, Nia 💕👍
Thank you so much! <3 I appreciate you watching :)
Great job Nia! We should dance together sometime!
Aww thank you , Amanda! We should, I miss you 🤗❤️
Such great performances the shows will be truly missed.
Killing it. haha
