“Before I came to Legacy I was a kid who loved to dance and do Michael Jackson every chance I got to do it. But, I wanted to be something more. Coming here did that for me. For the past four years here at Legacy I’ve learned to have confidence, work hard and never stop doing what you love. In the process I’ve also made amazing friends – they not only helped me become a better performer, they even made me smile on my hardest days. Being able to not only be a student, but also being an assistant teacher is the best thing I could ever ask for. This beautiful place gave me the confidence I needed as a performer. I didn’t think I was all that great and a small part of me wanted to stop because I didn’t have the confidence. Then Ms. Mandy came in and since day one she helped me believe I could do anything I sent my mind to. I want to thank not just her but every teacher that has taught me these past years who have gone and stayed. Thank you for impacting my life and making me the man and performer I am today. I also want to thank Mr. Mark and Mrs. Bethany for creating not just a theatre I love to perform at, but a place I can always call home. I love you all so much!!!”
