💕 Meet Our 2026–2027 Dance Connection Assistants! 💕

This season, we are so lucky to have such a wonderful group of dance assistants sharing their time, energy, and love of dance with our students! 🩰✨

From our tiniest Baby Ballerinas and Tiny Tots to our recreational and competitive dancers, all the way up to our tap exam classes, these amazing young ladies play such an important role in our classrooms!

Whether it’s tying tiny dance shoes, helping teach steps, keeping little ones focused, assisting with private lessons, taking bathroom and water breaks, or simply being a friendly face and building special bonds with our younger dancers — they truly do it ALL! 💗

As teachers, we can’t express enough how much we appreciate those extra sets of hands (especially when we have a room full of energetic little dancers! 😂).

Your patience, kindness, leadership, and willingness to help never go unnoticed. You are wonderful role models for our younger dancers, and we hope you know just how much of a difference you make each week.

To our incredible dance assistants — THANK YOU! We are so grateful for each and every one of you. Our classrooms wouldn’t be the same without you! 🫶

✨ Meet Our 2026–2027 Student Teachers! ✨

Please help us give a little shoutout to five wonderful young ladies — Abigail, Emberly, Emma, Halle & Sarah! 💕

These ladies have been offering their time throughout the week to work one-on-one with our dancers, helping strengthen technique, build confidence, prepare for exams, polish choreography, work on solos, and master those tricky dance steps!

What makes these girls so special isn’t just their talent, but the example they’ve set throughout their years at The Dance Connection. They have consistently shown dedication, a strong work ethic, respect for their teachers, their fellow dancers, and the studio, along with a genuine love for dance. ❤️

Many of these ladies also assist in our regular classes, gaining valuable experience working alongside our teaching staff. You may even see them stepping in to lead a class when one of our teachers is away, under the weather, or unable to make it due to road conditions. We have complete confidence in their ability to step up, take the lead, and provide our dancers with a positive and productive class!

They are kind, responsible, well-rounded young ladies who have grown into wonderful role models for our younger dancers. As a studio owner and teacher, there is nothing more rewarding than watching your students grow into leaders you can confidently trust to help guide the next generation.

We are incredibly lucky to have these five as part of our team. They are truly an asset to our studio, and we appreciate the time, patience, and encouragement they give our dancers!

Thank you, ladies, for giving back to the studio that has watched you grow! 🫶✨

✨ MEET OUR 2026–2027 TEAM! ✨

Behind every dancer is a team of people who encourage, inspire, challenge, and believe in them! ❤️

I feel incredibly fortunate to be surrounded by such an amazing crew of teachers and staff who truly take pride in what they do. Their passion for dance, dedication to their students, creativity, and commitment to helping each dancer grow never go unnoticed.

What makes our team so special isn’t just their knowledge and experience, but the heart they bring into the studio each and every day. From building confidence and celebrating little victories to pushing our dancers to reach their full potential, they each play such an important role in making The Dance Connection what it is today.

As we head into our 2026–2027 season, I couldn’t be more grateful for this wonderful group of individuals. Each brings something unique to our studio, and together we create a place where dancers can learn, grow, build friendships, and make memories that last a lifetime.

🥊 FIGHTING OFF COLD SEASON LIKE… 🥊😂

Back to school + back to dance also seems to mean back to all the germs! 🤧 With lots of colds making their way around already, here’s your friendly little reminder to help our dancers stay healthy, energized, and ready to DANCE! 💙

✨ Early nights & lots of sleep
💧 Drink plenty of water
🍎 Fuel those busy bodies with good food
💊 Keep up with your regular vitamins
🧼 Wash those hands, wash those hands, wash those hands!
🥤 No sharing water bottles or drinks
🤧 Cough/sneeze into your elbow
🧴 A little hand sanitizer never hurts after school and before dance
🛌 And when you’re truly sick — rest and give that body a chance to recover!

We LOVE having our dancers in the studio, but we love having healthy dancers in the studio even more! 💙

Here’s to fighting off those back-to-school bugs and keeping everyone healthy, happy and dancing! 💪🕺✨

❤️❤️❤️

Maybe the “crazy dance mom” narrative is getting old.

Because the dance moms I know?

They’re the ones cheering for your child even when their own child is competing against her.

They fix someone else’s bun.
Share the hairspray.
Help with a costume malfunction.
Clap for every kid on that stage.
Celebrate the wins that aren’t theirs.
And hug the dancer crying in the hallway after a mistake.

Yes, dance is competitive.

But motherhood doesn’t have to be.

Our daughters are watching us.

They notice when we cheer for another girl.
When we compliment another dancer.
When we celebrate someone else’s success without diminishing our own child’s.

We’re teaching them that another girl shining doesn’t make their light any dimmer.

So in 2026, let’s change the dance mom narrative.

Less comparison.
Less competition between moms.
More fixing each other’s crowns—and their kids’ rhinestones. 💗

Because our girls may compete onstage…

but we can still raise them to cheer for each other from the wings.
