“I really enjoyed being in your classes. I have learned so much! I hope that eventually I will be able to become a Chinese dance teacher. I admire how you connected with all your students and made it all so much fun and exciting. You helped make all of our performances less stressful and more enjoyable. I hope I can follow your example. I’m going to continue learning Chines dance and learning about my Chinese heritage.”
