Connie Bracey Inspiring Dancer Award – Lucas Thompson
Lucas joined Belle Academy as a three-year-old. Ever since, he has been a diligent dance student striving to be the best he can be and each year making amazing strides in strength and technique. Yet, he is humble and kind to all and is loved by everyone in the studio. He attends Central High School.
Karen Webb Ballet Award – Dayna Tanner

After many years of diligence and taking every opportunity to work on her ballet technique, she has become a strong, beautiful ballet dancer. She will be attending Purdue University this fall, where she will be on the school dance team.
