Congratulations to Maggie! She is graduating and heading off to the University of Michigan in the fall.

Maggie has danced with us for many years, from beginner through premier! I’ve enjoyed watching her grow as both a dancer and a person during this time. She’s not only been involved in dance, but also spent years in 4H, model UN, quiz bowl, and much more. She has been a huge asset to our group this past year, teaching and holding everything together when I’ve needed to take leave of absences from teaching. She has accomplished so many things at such a young age, and I look forward to seeing where her future takes her!
