"Friend, brother… You have always been part of my journey as a dancer. You were there in the details most people miss — adjusting my hands, correcting my feet, and most importantly, teaching me to listen to the music in a completely different way. But above all, you taught me to dance with the heart, with real joy. I am so grateful for everything I learned from you over these years. Every lesson stayed with me. And that class of yours written on the mirror… it is simply one of the greatest lessons anyone could ever have. Gratitude for everything. You are, without a doubt, the best of this generation."
