YouTubes: Breakout 2019

I posted these videos before the students received their awards. Awards are awesome and I love it when the students win, but making dances from start to finish and watching these kids put in the blood, sweat, and tears while making something out of an idea and trying something new is better than any award. Watching them bravely step outside of comfort zones and break away from expectations while remaining true to themselves and developing their own style is above and beyond the most rewarding gift a teacher and coach can receive. Then, to have these students recognized and their little faces overflowing with emotions because they did what they set out to do... those little faces and tears... and smiles... and jumps and yells... are in my memory forever.

I love the community that we have built together here at Frank Hurt. You are all awesome little Killer Beez. Thank-you to all the coaches. Do you know, I have always dreamed of our program turning into what it is... with alumni that keep coming back to create and share what they have learned? I appreciate all of you.

Congratulations coaches and dancers. You KillaBeed BREAKOUT!
