What dance and tumbling means to Michelle, in her own words…
Dance/tumbling is my whole life. Without the help of our teachers and, of course, Miss Ann Marie, I wouldn’t have all of this fun and flexibility! I love all of my teachers because they help me when I need it and they are the nicest of all! Miss Ann Marie is the best tapper and instructor. I love dance and tumbling!

You can tell she practices, as she always knows new steps perfectly the next week AND remembers all her choreography! I have been Michelle’s dance teacher since she was only 3 years old. It is my pleasure to see her grow into an amazing dancer and a young lady of outstanding character!
