To Every Dancer

To Every Dancer in Every Dance Studio in the world,

You are amazing.  
You are beautiful.
You are a force to be reckoned with.
You are strong.
You have everything you need inside of you to be the dancer that you want to be.

It doesn't matter what's going on at school....
It doesn't matter what's going on at home......
It doesn't matter what's going on with your friends.....
It doesn't matter what's going on with your with your family.
          Dance it off.

Dance like no one is looking.
Dance like there is nothing else in the world that can affect you.
Dance what's in your heart.  Show the world what you can do.

Maybe you take dance for one hour a week, maybe it's every day of the week.
Maybe you love ballet, maybe it's hip hop or tap.
Maybe you strive to be part of a company one day or dance professionally, maybe not.
Maybe you have beautiful turnout or naturally graceful form and maybe you have to work harder
Maybe your kicks are to your nose and maybe they're not even waist high. 
         It doesn't matter.  Dance anyway.  You don't have to be perfect; you just have to be you.

You see, dance is not JUST about form and technique.  Those are the foundation.
On top of that foundation are the bricks of emotion.  Pour yourself into it.
Pour that love you have into it.

You are incredible and the world is proud of you.

Love,
A Dance Teacher that wishes every dancer heard this more often
