Lupu and Rodgers are the owners of Dancing in the Streets AZ. They also taught Elijah the art of ballet. The Pascua Yaqui tribe member developed an interest in dancing at a young age."I just saw the passion that he wanted to try," Rodgers said."I was like, you know what, let’s give you a try, man, and let’s see what happens."
Lupu said Elijah"worked hard." She added that"he was hungry for ballet, wanted to learn more and kept asking for more. He would sweat bullets." "It’s tragic to lose students before us, just like a parent should never lose a child," Lupu said when asked what was going through her mind when she learned of the tragic news.The joy, passion and love Elijah had for ballet and those around him is something Lupu and Rodgers will cherish forever.
