The final final :-(

Today was the final dance final *sniff*.  The last time that Marie will say goodbye to a group of students who love her and have learned to become dancers under her tutelage at Winthrop.  Yes, she'll still teach private lessons, but a season in her life has now officially passed.

Thank you, Marie for everything you have done for me over the years.  I was blessed to learn to dance from you, and thankful to call you friend!  Without you, I would never have danced a "flirty" cha-cha with Demetri.  I would never have been part of a hustle flash mob.  I would never have learned that my concentrating face is fish lips.  I would never have realized that Cuban motion is so difficult.  I would never have taught many of my friends to dance. I would never have realized I could dance waltz elegantly.  I would never have danced ballroom style period.  So, thank you.
