What a weekend for Rise Up Academy! 🔥
Our tumbling and trampoline team took the State competition by storm and left it all on the floor. With 23 State Champions across all three disciplines, these athletes proved what hard work, focus, and heart can accomplish.
From the first pass to the final routine, every athlete represented Rise Up with determination and confidence. The energy, the teamwork, the support for one another—it was all there, and it showed in a BIG way.
We’re beyond proud of this team and everything they’ve achieved. Now it’s time to take that momentum to the next level…
➡️ Nationals in June, here we come!
Let’s keep pushing, growing, and rising together 💪✨

What an incredible weekend at Ovation Dance Competition ❤️! While not everything went perfectly, we’re choosing to celebrate the positives and how proud we are of every single one of our dancers.
🏆🏆🏆 We brought home multiple division wins, earned 25 Standing Ovations (near-perfect scores!), and took home both highest scoring routines of the competition:
✨ 11 & Under – Proud Mary
✨ 12 & Over – Disappear
So grateful for this team, their hard work, and the unforgettable moments we shared. 💙

Onward and upward. Our dancers deserve nothing less. 💫
