While there may never be an end to the dance season, there is (thankfully) an end to school. And with that, many seniors are going off to college. So this article is dedicated to all the relationships between the older and younger dancers at the dance studio. The seniors have become role models for the younger dancers to look up to. So when the younger dancers get older, they can become great role models, too. And when the older dancers leave the dance studio for college, they know they have made a difference in a dancer’s life.
