Day 3

Today was extra special as our girls came together to support their ballet sister, Oona, in her first contemporary competition. Watching them cheer her on, encourage her, and boost her confidence before she stepped on stage was such a beautiful moment. It reminded us that competitions are not only about awards, but also about the friendships and sisterhood we build along the way.

Oona danced beautifully today. For her first contemporary competition, she showed so much courage, growth, and confidence on stage. Her performance was truly beautiful and brought tears to our eyes.

Junior A Any Genre (8–10 years old)
Oona: 🥈 Silver

We are so proud of your improvement, hard work, and progress, Oona. This is only the beginning of your journey in contemporary!

And to the two girls who stayed by her side, cheered her on, and helped her feel more confident before going on stage, thank you. Your support meant so much.

It truly takes a village to raise wonderful girls, not only graceful ballerinas, but kind, supportive, and loving ballet sisters.

Keep growing, girls. So much more is ahead of you.

We are so proud of your hard work, determination, and resilience.
