Words cannot express the amount of gratitude, love, and appreciation that I am feeling right now for
@thedanceawards and
@danceone . It is such an honor to be named as teen male best dancer among such a talented group of dancers. I’m so thankful to share the stage with
@blake.met and
@angeloandreadurante as well as all of the other teen male dancers, you guys are amazing. Being named Best Dancer has been a dream of mine for so long, and it feels so surreal that it actually happened. So many people have helped and supported me in achieving this goal,
@starsdanceco @victorsmalley @angelarmas @leydissanchez @elenaespinozaa @shamusmoriarty_ @marielacid @rickyubeda11 @claudiasballetcubanfusion @rhythmdancecenter and
@nicholemartin1015 and I couldn’t be more thankful for you all.
@victorsmalley I know that you took a chance on me two years ago when I first came to Stars, and you have been the best teacher, mentor, father, and friend that I could ask for. You are always looking out for me, pushing me to be the best version of myself, and believing in me even in my lowest moments. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for you. I couldn’t have done this without you and your unwavering belief in me.
I’m SO EXCITED for this next year with
@danceone dancing with all of the faculty on
@jumpdance @24sevendance and
@nuvodanceconvention . You all never fail to inspire me and teach me so much about not only dance but who I am as an artist and as a person. My gratitude for you is endless.
And last but definitely not least, I want to thank my parents.
@pam.mcmichen.wright and
@spinsight and my sister
@_mckenna.wright_ You guys have sacrificed so much for my dance journey, and I couldn’t be more thankful for you. I’m so grateful to have family that are willing to move to a different state and spend time apart just to help me fulfill my dreams. You guys mean the most to me and I love you so much!
To my
@starsdanceco family,
@juliarosephotography @fivedancewear my JRP family and my grandparents, family, friends, and fellow dancers, your support this week meant so much. I love you all 🫶🏻
