Nutcracker Costume Season is Here!

We’re so excited to begin ordering costumes for our 2026 Nutcracker!

Aubrey has been working so hard to match as many costumes as possible from last year’s production so that our dance families have the opportunity to reuse, resell, and SAVE!

This year, instead of coordinating costume resales in the lobby, we’re creating a special Nutcracker Costume Resale GroupMe!

Here’s how it works:

1.) We’ll have all the costumes we’re reusing this season posted in the studio lobby this evening so you can see which costumes are eligible for resale.

2.) If you have one of those costumes from last year, you’re welcome to post it for sale in our GroupMe!

3.) If you’re looking to purchase a gently used costume, you can connect directly with another dance family!

For any costumes that are no longer available, we’ll be selecting beautiful new options for this season.

One of our FAVORITE days of the entire year!

Our Big Sister Little Sister Reveal is such a beautiful reminder of what makes our dance family so special! Watching friendships grow across ages and teams, seeing our dancers love on one another, and celebrating the sweetest connections is truly EVERYTHING!

We kicked off the day with an amazing parent meeting, followed by our Dynamic Duo & Terrific Trio reveals, crafts with our bigs and littles, and pumpkin decorating!

We couldn’t be more grateful for this incredible dance family and the love, kindness, and support that surrounds our dancers. Here’s to a competition season filled with growth, positivity, and cheering each other on every step of the way!

More than teammates. We’re FAMILY!

✨ A BIG Carolina Collective welcome to Megan Neese! ✨

We are excited to welcome Megan not only for a special masterclass, but as the newest member of our Carolina Collective Dance family!

Megan brings an incredible wealth of experience, from earning her B.F.A. in Dance Education to working professionally with renowned choreographers, performing in Rihanna’s Super Bowl Halftime Show, and teaching and choreographing across the country!

As she relocates to our area, we couldn’t be more excited to have her join our team and share her incredible talent with our dancers!

We’re kicking things off with a Contemporary Masterclass open to ages 8+! Megan will also be offering private lessons for solo cleaning, technique, and individualized training.

Sign up through our SignUpGenius link, which will also be emailed to our families. Be sure to check out both the masterclass and private lesson opportunities!

Please join us in welcoming Megan with open arms! We know this is the beginning of something truly special, and we can’t wait for all that’s ahead!

With so many new dancers joining our competition team this season, we want to take some time to make sure everyone feels prepared and ready for our first convention weekend!
Join us this Sunday before our Big Little Reveal for a one-hour parent meeting where we’ll walk through what a convention weekend looks like from start to finish- including expectations, what to pack, costumes, props, schedules, and all the little things that are helpful to know before JUMP Greenville.
