Core memory unlocked ✨🏆🔓

So proud of Julian and ALL of our students who participated in the IMPROV dance challenge. Such a fun experience for them and for us to see!

Stepped out of their comfort zones and shocked us all!

There was a moment a few years ago where I truly didn’t know if this team would survive.

Today, we stood on stage at one of the toughest competitions we’ve faced in years and watched these dancers shine.

Not because it came easy.
Not because they were handed anything.
But because they worked HARD for every single moment.

Watching these dancers regain confidence after being torn down… watching kids rediscover joy in dance… watching the growth from the first comp to this one.. seeing these kids try new things all together and support each other through it all.. watching this team become a family again… THAT is the real win. And that is what this sport is really all about.
✨CONFIDENCE
✨TEAMWORK
✨FAMILY
The awards this weekend were just proof of all of those things. & since they worked so hard to be bragged about, here are all the things they accomplished this weekend…

🖤Teammate Abby winning a STANDOUT AWARD with her tap solo by Miss Bri
🤍Teammate Aurora won not only a Performance Award for her tap solo with Miss ._.vidal but she also won a STANDOUT award with her lyrical solo with Miss Lindsay
❤️Teammate won a STANDOUT award for his jazz solo with Miss Lindsay as well as 7th overall AND WON the IMPROV DANCE OFF for 12 and over!
🖤Groups Super Spy Kitties & There Needs to be Change choreographed by Miss Lindsay won STANDOUT AWARDS!
🤍Teammates Cadence & Julian won a CHOREOGRAPHY AWARD & a STANDOUT AWARD for their duo choreographed by Miss Lindsay
❤️Overall placements for several groups (1,3,5,6,7,8,9)
🖤Overall placements for both of our teen duos that performed this weekend (3,5)
🏆The ADCC STUDIO EXCELLENCE AWARD went to our entire studio for their creativity, positivity, professionalism, support, and pride!

I could not be prouder of this small but oh so mighty team. We truly ended this season with a BANG!

Thank you to all our staff for showing up for them and supporting them the way you do. You show these kids that no matter, we have their back and we will be there for them! .4 .fiorello ._.vidal

Thank you to the parents for giving these kids the opportunity to do what they love and be their biggest cheerleaders!
