For living in your cars amidst the smell of old dance shoes;

For living room rehearsal sessions, going over movement cues;

For tuition, for costumes, for fees you didn’t disclose;

For venting about the life of a dancer and all of its many woes;

You’ve been my cheering section, my toughest critic, too;

And I can never give you the repayment that you are more than due;

So on this sunny Sunday, the 14th day of May;

To dance moms near and far, we say thank you, and Happy Mothers Day!!

Happy Mothers Day to all of the Dance Moms who lived in the studio with their budding stars. Whether you get to see it or not, the investment means more than we can ever put into words!
