The Scholarship Is Awarded To...

Lil Miss M!!!

At the beginning of the show on opening night all company members were called on stage for special recognition of a fantastic competition season and then the announced the scholarship winners...Lil Miss M had no idea it was coming.  As they began to read off the names she applauded the other 3 winners (from different levels) and started looking at her friends to see who was going to be called from her group...then her name was announced!  Total shock and happiness burst from her little face as she walked across that big stage and gave her teachers a big hug as they hung the engraved medal around her neck.  Lil Miss M walked back into line with the other girls with the biggest smile I've ever had the privilege to see on her face and with her held just a little higher knowing all the work she had put into dance this year.  What a spectacular moment for a seven year old who dances not because she has to but because she LOVES it.

Congratulations Lady-Bug!!!
