‘Twas the weekend before recital and taking the stage we all await … but before we do, we’ve got 3 more grads to celebrate! (I tried 😂)

GDP FAMILIES - THIS ONE IS A BIG ONE! 🎉💯

Whenever I start to question my life choices, I’m always grounded when I type out my weekly email and realize that the babies I had so much pride in teaching are still with me! 🥹 Sharing the joy, offering their adult opinions & cultivating their own students. I wouldn’t trade it for the world. They aren’t just employees - they’re my babies!

And it’s with immense PRIDE that I announce my first round of seniors (2022) are seniors again (2026)!

Today’s🎓S🌟E🌟N🌟I🌟O🌟R SUNDAY 🎓celebrates our very own Miss Lauren, Miss Kaitlyn & Miss Laila!

Miss Lauren graduated this May with a Bachelor’s Degree in Early Childhood & Special Education from University of Delaware. She’s going to be an elementary special education teacher in Colonial School District while working on her Master’s Degree in Special Education from Wilmington University! 💚

Miss Kaitlyn graduated with an Associate’s Degree from DelTech this May. She will be relocating and attending the University of Pittsburgh this fall majoring in urban planning and geographic analysis. After graduating Miss Kaitlyn plans to work in transportation or environmental planning while obtaining a Master’s degree in Urban Planning. Her hope is to aid in building infrastructure that supports communities from the ground up. We’re going to miss Miss Kaitlyn something terrible but I know she’s going to be just fine! I’ve been wanting this for her forever. She deserves all the opportunities in the world!💚

Miss Laila is a recent graduate of Old Dominion University with a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Nursing. In just a short week, she will be starting as a pediatric nurse at the Children’s Hospital of Richmond, Virginia. She’ll be starting the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner program at Old Dominion University this fall. 💚

Lauren, Kaitlyn & Laila - we’re immensely proud of you. To have watched you become the beautiful humans you are today has been a true blessing. I am your biggest cheerleader and I am ALWAYS here for you!

Congratulations! 🍾

GDP Families! This week is our LAST week of classes for our 2025-2026 season! Our last day of class is Saturday, June 13th! 💚🖤🩶

This season was full of smiles, laughter, first times, exponential growth in dancers, rallying behind our GDP family, achievements, stand outs, shout outs and everything in between. Just when we think it can’t get any better … it does!

The day is winding down … perfect time to keep our month of celebration going! Today’s

S🌟E🌟N🌟I🌟O🌟R 🌟 Sunday

is dedicated solely to our very own …

🎓Morountodun Ajayi🎓

I think if we polled most adults in the studio who they wanted to be most like when they grew up - it would hands down be Todun! Our sweet, gentle soul is loved for the person she is and the environment she creates. The magic she brings on stage is just the cherry on top!

When not dancing, Todun enjoys reading, cooking, crocheting, doing hair, crafting and building Legos! If you’ve never seen Todun dance - you’ve missed out for sure. Technically starting at the age of 3, Todun didn’t seriously start dancing until the age of 12! Hip hop is where Todun’s heart lives! She choreographed her undefeated hip hop duet this season with her partner, Ida, winning top scoring and choreography awards all season!

Todun’s academic life is equally successful! She made history this year as her and 5 other students graduated with their Associates Degree from Delaware State University BEFORE she graduated from Early College High School. Enrolled in dual classes, Todun crushed this graduation season as Valedictorian of her graduating class! I can simply say that NONE of us are surprised!

Todun will be attending the University of Delaware this fall majoring in Civil Engineering. She dreams of one day owning her own dance studio - in addition to conquering the world! Since graduating, she’s most looking forward to working in an industry in which she’s a minority as she wishes to be an inspiration to young girls who look like her! 💕

The best advice Todun has received that she’d love to pass on is “when you do good things, good will come. It doesn’t always happen immediately but will come when you least expect it.” The best advice we’ve heard all day!

Todun - you are everything! To say we wish you the best doesn’t feel like enough! I can’t wait to see how everything you touch turns to gold! You are such a joy to teach and I treasure the love you show your students and younger dancers.

Everyone … please take a moment and join in as we scream CONGRATULATIONS TODUN! ♥️
