Growing up, Henry has always had a special spark about him. Although we could not put our finger on it, you could tell that there was a passion inside of him waiting to come out. He would dance around the house, but refused to be put into dance classes. Luckily in second grade, Henry met Bella who had been dancing at Ohana for a few years. It was their friendship that gave him the confidence to start taking classes. Over the past two years of dancing at Ohana, Henry’s transformation as a dancer, child, and an individual has been simply amazing. He has gained confidence and has a drive that many nine-year-olds do not possess. The teachers have shown him that structure and hard work can be fun, and that dance is something for everyone. Although he is an exceptional dancer, I believe Henry’s favorite part is the family that Ohana has given him. He is always so proud to wear his Ohana sweatshirt and tell people all about his studio. Henry enters and exits the studio with a huge smile on his face every day, and there is no better sight than that as a parent. It’s hard to even imagine who Henry would be without Ohana and without dance. We are so grateful to have found this place. - Caitlin O. (Henry’s Mom)
