    My dance queen is Harshika Kulasooriya, and she is my beloved teacher ♥️. She guides me with patience and love.  Sometimes she protects us like a mother. At other times she comforts us like a sister and a true friend, understanding our fears, drying our tears, and encouraging us with a smile. She always tells us, "One day you must pass me." These words inspire us to work hard and to be confident.  She teaches me not only dance steps but also confidence. She helps me when I am sad. She is more than a teacher and more than a leader on stage; she is my support and my dance queen. She is a true example of beauty and love ♥️🥰.
