✨ A VERY SPECIAL GOODBYE TO OUR JESS ✨

Almost a decade ago, a little girl walked through our doors for a holiday camp… and none of us could have imagined just how incredible her journey with us would become. ❤️

From those very first steps, Jessica, or Jess as she is more affectionately known, has grown into an exceptional dancer, performer and young woman and watching her journey unfold has been one of the greatest privileges.

Over the years, she has achieved so much, from smashing her IDTA exams and receiving scholarship nominations, to performing on the stages of London’s West End and becoming a truly decorated competition dancer. 🏆✨

Her love and talent for Freestyle have seen her achieve incredible things, including proudly representing our school at Blackpool, moments that we will always remember with enormous pride. 💃🏼 Finally, what could be a more magical way to finish almost ten years with us than dancing in Disney World, Florida! 🏰✨🇺🇸

Jess, you have given so much to our school over the years. Your hard work, determination, talent, laughter and beautiful spirit have made you such a special part of our dance family. We have watched you grow from that little girl at holiday camp into the amazing young lady standing before us today and I honestly couldn’t be prouder. Your jumps will go down in history and your loyalty to my school will always be remembered. ❤️

Assisting teachers in class and inspiring the next generation of dancers has been particularly special too!

Although saying goodbye is incredibly difficult, I know this is not the end; it’s the beginning of an exciting new chapter. Wherever your dancing, dreams and adventures take you next, we hope you always remember where it all began. ❤️

Thank you for almost 10 wonderful years of memories, achievements, laughter, tears, hard work and magic.
Keep dancing. Keep believing. Keep being YOU. ✨ I am SO incredibly proud of you, Jess!
Once a part of our dance family, always a part of our dance family. ❤️ Go and make the world your stage. 🌎✨Who knows, maybe you’ll be back with us in a teaching capacity one day in the future. 🤞🏼

With all my love,
Katie ❤️

PS - What am I going to do without Dance Mom extraordinaire Elaine? 🥹

💗 Goodbye Liv… where have those 11 years gone?! 💗

It’s so hard to put into words just how special it feels to say goodbye to a girl who has been such a huge part of our stage school for over 11 years. 🥹

From a little girl taking her first steps in musical theatre and dance, through IDTA exams, London stages, performances, competitions and countless rehearsals, we have watched Liv grow, flourish and blossom into the incredible young lady she is today. ✨

As a competition dancer, Liv has worked so hard, pushed herself, taken on every challenge and made us incredibly proud time and time again. But beyond the trophies, results and performances, it’s been an absolute privilege to watch her grow in confidence, find her love for performing and create so many wonderful memories along the way. 💃🏼🎭

11 years is such a huge chapter of her life and she will always hold a very special place in the Star-Struck family. ❤️

I’m so incredibly sad to see you leave, Liv and I’m definitely not ready for this goodbye! 😭 However, I am so excited to see where life takes you next. Never stop dancing, never stop performing, and most importantly, never stop being the wonderful person you are.

Thank you for 11+ years of memories, laughter, hard work and magic. 🌟

Go and shine, Liv; your next chapter is going to be amazing. ✨

We will miss you more than you know. ❤️

Once a Star-Struck girl, always a Star-Struck girl. 🥹💗

Lots of love
Katie ❤️
