JILL ADKINS Hi I’m Jill! I graduated from Platte Valley High School this year and will attend Colorado State University in the fall! Following earning my degree I plan to go to dental school and then continue to study orthodontics and oral surgery. I would like to say thanks to my parents for always supporting me and cheering me on, as well as the rest of my family and my awesome boyfriend. I’d also like to say thank you to all the wonderful people at the dance factory, especially Lynn Bassett for always believing in me and seeing my potential. My time at the dance factory has made such a huge impact on me and who I am, and I am very grateful for that! I’d like to say one last thank you to all of the friends I’ve made at the dance factory who made it feel like a second home! Thanks for watching me grow up; I’m so thankful and grateful for everything! <3 LESLIE MARTINEZ My name is Leslie Martinez. I graduated from Greeley West High School, class of 2021. My plans after high school include me going to the University of Colorado Boulder. I plan to be a dance teacher while I am staying in Boulder. My dream and ultimate goal is to do commercial dance in Los Angeles. No matter what path I take in life, dance will always be a part of it. None of this could have been possible without the overwhelming support that I have received. I joined the Dance Factory later than most people, but the love that I have felt has made it seem that I have been a part of the family the whole time. I want to give special thanks to: Gina Haug, Nicole Haug, Lynn Varriano Bassett, Kate Suiter, Melony Kerksiek. The most special thank you's to Kaitlyn Beale, you have been the most amazing supporter. I would not be where I am without you. Last but certainly not least thank you to Megan Pershing Long, you are the reason I can call the dance factory home, no one has made me feel proud of myself like you have. Thank you to The Dance Factory for the most memorable six years, I love you all. JORDAN PATCH Hey It’s Jordan!! I graduated from Windsor High School with honor Summa Cum Laude and ranked 14th out of 326 students. I am furthering my dance career being an apprentice tapper with Tap into the Network, a traveling tap intensive. I will currently take a gap year to focus on chasing my dreams. I want to give a huge thank you to my family for the amazing support, life lessons, and love throughout my life. I would also want to give the biggest thank you to Dance Factory. It has truly been an amazing 15 years and more to come ;) I’m so thankful I get to call this amazing place my second home and family. Within that family I want to thank all the teachers for challenging me to be my best and dealing with the hot mess that I am. I also want to thank my dance team, friends, and God for always believing in me and being the best. Here’s to the next chapter <3 ALISON REED Hello! My name is Alison Reed. Recently, I graduated from Frontier Academy. Next year, I will be studying advertising at the University of Alabama to pursue a career in social media marketing. I wanted to take a moment to thank my parents for allowing me to chase my love of being on stage, my dance teachers for pushing me to be the best dancer and person possible, and all of my fellow dancers for inspiring me and always making me smile. “WE LIVE FOR THE APPLAUSE” Tuesday June 15th, 4:30pm 1.
