Hello!

May is here, and the excitement is building as we head into the final stretch of our dance season! Recital is 21 days away! We’re so proud of the progress our dancers have made this year and can’t wait to see them shine on stage. We will be sending out dress rehearsal packets in the next week or so informing you of call times, dressing room assignments, and more. Let’s finish the season strong and celebrate all the hard work, growth, and joy dance has brought us this year!

Company Update

And just like that, our 2024/2025 competitive dance season has come to a close.

This season was about more than trophies and titles. It was about early mornings and late nights, shared laughter and quiet nerves backstage. It was about friendships, discipline built one practice at a time, and the kind of courage that only comes from putting your heart on the stage in front of a crowd.

But above all, this season was about memories. The kind that remain long after the music has faded and the lights dimmed. The kind that stay with you forever.

We watched our dancers grow, not just as artists, but as teammates, as leaders, and as kind and resilient young women.

To every dancer, parent, and supporter who poured love and energy into this year: thank you. You are part of what makes this journey so meaningful.

To our incredible Company teachers—you continue to amaze us daily with your endless talent, artistry, and unwavering devotion. Your belief in these dancers and the passion you pour into them so selflessly is inspiring. We are truly blessed to have you by our side.

OK, now let’s brag a little LOL Take a look at some of the serious wins our amazing team brought home this season.
