I gave you guys the dance with the trickiest music, and you rose to the challenge! I am very proud of all of you!

Whew! We had a major challenge with rehearsing four pieces in one class, but somehow we made it through! You have been focused and hard-working and I really appreciate all the extra time you put in. Great Job!

Congratulations, you made it!! It's not easy for five people to do a 4 1/2 minute dance but you guys have really pulled through and I'm proud of you. Be proud of what you've accomplished.
