We have adored having you in class since you were a young! You ALWAYS fill the room up with your contagious smile and sense of humor.  In the past few years, we have witnessed you grow into an extraordinarily strong, well versed hip-hop dancer. You have a natural way of making choreography look effortless and cool. We know that whatever you do in the future you will conquer.
We 
can't wait to hear about Elon when you visit TDA during breaks!
