jazz dance

She was hesitant at first to try jazz dance and do competitions when she started two years ago, but through your tutelage and support, she has grown into not only an improved dancer but a more confident person. She loves dancing with Momentum; it's really become her passion. You have been such a supportive dance teacher and have helped to push her to do more than she thought she could do. She was so incredibly proud of the first trophy her Breakthrough team won. When I asked her if she wanted an individual trophy to take home to mark the event, she said "No, the team trophy is enough. We did it as a team." And that, was incredibly valuable in and of itself; that she was part of something bigger than herself. Thank you Betsy!
