never lose your spark or the passion you have within you
never lose that innocent smile you carry with you everywhere you go
never lose your motivation to improve
but also never forget the joy dance has always brought to you
someday you will stop dancing every minute of every day
for your care to try might have faded away
someday you will realize the impact you have on the dancers around you
and someday you will become the older girl that inspires the next generations
however
some things you will never lose
you will never lose that connection to the teacher who has always believed in you the most
she will help you to never lose sight of what’s most important
for she betters you and protects you from the bad
and I’ll always hope
you never stop cheering for those around you
celebrate your friends when they succeed
and be happy for them when they deserve it
most importantly
never stop dancing for yourself
express yourself through each move
because at the end of the day
the stage is where you are safe
