being on so you think you can dance has meant everything to me. I’ve been watching the show since I was a little girl, looking up to all the past winners hoping to be in their shoes one day. Last night my dream came true and I was named America’s Favorite Dancer !! Thank you to everyone that has watched and voted, it’s so humbling knowing I have people behind me supporting and believing in me. Thank you to everyone I got to work with this season, from the choreographers to the top 10 dancers to the producers, you have all made this experience so amazing. Thank you @jeffthacker for always knowing the right thing to say, you are truly the best. Boom.
