With the dance studio shutting down and whispers of a lockdown coming, the girls' dance teacher, Mrs. Natalia, decided to go back to Greece early. She had already planned to go at the end of May because she wanted to be reunited with her family. Corona just fast-tracked her plans.
Kylie and her friend Khadijah made a quick plan for a going away gift.
Khadijah ordered some sweatshirts, and Kylie came up with a logo for their adult dance class, and together, they wanted to present their teacher with her own sweatshirt before she left the country.
Khadijah, Kylie, and Karis
Everyone got their name initial on the front
And the name of their dance class on the back
They said their goodbyes for the last time because we had already attended a big going away party for her the night before.

It had included LOTS of food...like every good party does.
From several different countries
Mrs. Natalia had many friends from many walks of life. She choreographed the pageant each year where a regional princess was chosen, she did pilates, yoga, aerial yoga, and ballet classes nearly every day of the week either in the studio or in her home.
There was dancing, eating, speeches given,
hugs goodbye,
and pictures with crying red-eyes taken.
Most of the people at the party were adults, but these four special girls were also invited to come!

On March 8th, the girls got their braces off on the same day. After a sad month of seeing their teacher leave, this was cause for much celebration!
