Continuing this week’s sappy and emotional post benefit show  posts with #TroupeBuddieTuesday 👨‍👧‍👦 featuring these 2 incredibly talented little humans: Ava @21popcorn & Brendan! 🔴 @cultureshockla has this TB (big/little, mentorship) program where a CSLA member gets paired up with a TB from our youth teams : mini , mighty , future. 🔴 Last year I was paired up with Ava and she is just the most fierce charismatic performer. Although we didn’t get to see each other that much this year I want you to know I’m super proud of you. “SIPA Shock Always and All Ways!” 🔴 This year we got to add Brendan a mini shocker, into our little TB family. I’m so happy and proud that I was able to help you become a better dancer. Your performance facials and movements have gotten bigger and better! This kid even made me cry at the mini shock banquet with his thoughtful letter 😭😍 #imsuchasap 🔴 Now you 2 listen to me, you are the best TBs anyone could ever have. Continue growing into strong, kind, & humble humans. I will always be here for you no matter what. Your big brother loves you 2 <3 🔴 #attitudeofgratitude #TBlove #ShockLAFam #BigBrother #lilsister #lilbrother #CSLAbenefit2017 #RED #

There's no better way to start out this week of appreciation & reflection than with my #MCM / #MCeveryday @leongbm 👬 Thank you for your endless support. I know I tacked on a lot this year with going back to school, working, CSLA, & directing Future Shock LA but it never got to be too much because you had my back. You inspire me with your presence; on stage, in rehearsals, & in life. 🔴 This was our 3rd benefit show performance together and it keeps getting better every year. I love harder and commit stronger to everything I do now because of you. Thank you for everything, my love💙💛 🔴 #attitudeofgratitude #artwithpurpose #CSLAbenefit2017 #RED #CSLA1617 (at Aratani Japan America Theater)
