To Our Dance Space Family and Friends ❤️
For so many years, Andrew has been far more than the owner of a dance studio or a dance teacher. He has been a mentor, our friend, a second family, and such an important part of the lives of countless dancers and families in our community.
He has celebrated our children’s successes, encouraged them through their struggles, helped them find confidence in themselves, and given so much of his heart to the people around him.
Now it is our turn to be there for him.
Andrew is facing an incredibly difficult journey after undergoing a recent stem cell transplant and the extensive recovery that follows. The months ahead will bring significant medical, caregiving, travel, and living expenses at a time when his focus needs to be on one thing: healing.
A GoFundMe has been created to help ease some of that burden and surround Andrew with the same love and support he has given to so many others over the years.
If Andrew has ever taught your child, encouraged your dancer, made you laugh, welcomed you into his dance family, or simply touched your life, please consider giving back to someone who has given so much to all of us.
No donation is too small. And if you aren’t able to donate, sharing this post can make just as meaningful a difference.
Andrew, you have an entire community standing behind you. You are loved beyond measure, and you are not fighting this alone. ❤️
🙏 Please donate or share Andrew’s GoFundMe:
