Promise me you will visit, keep shining so bright, and pursue every single dream! Love you! With pride and gratitude, Miss Jen

Lynne, How can I even begin to sum up 15 years or find the words to thank you for all you have done for me, my family and Allegro? I write this through tear-filled eyes (actually the Jen is ugly/hyperventilating cry) as I reflect on 15 years of friendship, FUN, growth, heartache, and life. You have been by my side through every major milestone in my adult life and you have become family to my family. You have helped me become who I am today and encourage me to keep striving to be a better version of myself. Your dedication and loyalty to Allegro is unbelievable and you are once-in-a-lifetime friend. I am so blessed to call you my best. As you move to North Carolina and start this next chapter, I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for it all. I will miss doing everyday things with you and seeing you in the office each week, but I know you will forever be by my side. I love you friend. Always, jen
Marissa, “And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance. I hope you dance.” ~Lee Ann Womack
It has been an absolute joy watching you dance these past 16 years! We are incredibly proud of you and cannot wait to see what your future holds. As you take the stage for the last time, remember that every step you take is a celebration of your passion and dedication to dance. Enjoy every minute of it, Marissa. We love you! Mom and Dad
