A Note from FDA:
Julia, we refuse to believe you are a senior! Welcome to the Owl Club (from Colleen and Tony). It seems like yesterday when you walked through the dance studio doors for your first dance class at Freestyle Dance Academy. We are so proud of the young lady you have grown up to be! You have such a big heart, and will go on to do great things working to help change others’ lives. Your journey as a dancer has been amazing to watch, and we hope you keep dance in your life. We have had the privilege of sharing so many experiences with you, and to see the bright light you can be for others. While we could never forget you, it won’t be the same not seeing you every week! Freestyle Dance Academy will always have its doors open for you, and we hope you will come visit us often. ~ Love your FDA Family
