What I’ll miss: where to start! the friendships i’ve made with my teammates, even after leaving the studio, the kids that i’ve grown so close to and love like my own little brothers and sisters, me and amy’s little conversations before and after classes, all the trip memories, choreographing for various groups, and just being in my second home (the studio😉) everyday, no matter the type of day♡

Why I would recommend TAPS to new students: TAPS is so welcoming and inclusive of all ages, and is appropriate in all aspects. the relationships you’ll make along the way are one’s words can’t describe enough!♡
