Our competition groups wrapped up their team season last month at the VIP Dayton contest. ✨✨✨
The dancers had amazing performances, laughs with teammates, fun with friends and dance families & any special awards were icing on the cake. We had a blast. Such a fun weekend to end with. Proud of every single routine we put on the stage and thankful for our choreographers that go the distance with the teams!! Shout out to every student coach/mentor that was there for every younger dancer during the season. We love our teens that are such fabulous influences on our younger generation! Thank you parents for a great 2025-26 team season! 💞

Hi families! Jumping onto Facebook to share some of my 💞pics💞 or pics I borrowed from others but to also do the annual collection of all the fun pictures you took! Hoping everyone had a beautiful Mother’s Day. Mine was spent at OSU watching my 24 & 22 year old graduate with their masters degrees!! 🫶🏻So now I’m ready to relive all the weekend fun on this pretty & peaceful Monday!

What a thrilling night & weekend watching the kids perform their hearts out! It’s more than that, though, it’s watching them maybe be nervous on Friday night, excited on Saturday night. Watching them take the stage with giggles and fun energy with their classmates that became friends. It’s watching the pre-kids smile a little bigger and be a little more confident on Saturday night or heck some we’re like “can’t believe we do this again” lol & now they are nervous! . It’s that crazy hallway madness backstage that is also fun to see.  One of the big highlights not everyone gets to see is the high-fives everybody’s giving as kids are coming back from backstage and ready to go up that ramp! My biggest takeaway from what I do is the older kids being there for the little kids, and that is the biggest happy moment when those little kids are high-fiving the teens and preteens.🤗
Shoutout anyone and everyone that had a quick change OMG you did that👏👏👏👏 and the moms were fabulous. I know you want to be in a seat, but I also know that you enjoyed that accomplishment… once it was clearly over lol➡️ It’s that SHOWBIZ life!

The last pic is a perfect example of how dance brings you your best friends, it defines friendship & performing together since the beginning & then it wraps itself up in the best bow ever 💓😭 As a surprise, they decided on Wednesday to perform their favorite duet from last year instead of this year’s! Thank you girls & Miss Amy G for that special treat!

in conclusion a BIG THANK YOU for sharing all of your kiddos with us!! PLEASE ADD YOUR FUN PHOTOS IN THE COMMENTS!✨

We wanted to SHOUT OUT our one and only SENIOR, Reagan Downey!
She CELEBRATES her 15th year dancing at the studio, her 12th year with the competition teams and is in year 13 as a competition soloist.

We asked Reagan a few questions…
First or fun memory?! ~~“I feel like I can remember playing in the studio when my family would be there cleaning or setting up for something. Then probably dancing at the studio, having fun with friends making “musically” videos in the storage room. I’ve also seen the pictures of me asleep behind the desk (mom was teaching) while my grandma was working, before my dad could come get me.

Favorite routines?! ~~“I loved “Blue Suede Shoes”, “Coming in Hot” hip hop and my 3rd grade Tiny Annie routine”.

A favorite night of classes looks like ?!~~ “team nights where the dancers and coaches start talking, making jokes and telling stories for 10 minutes.”

Future plans?!~~”My college plans are to attend The Ohio State University studying Exercise Science in hopes to become a Physical Therapist. I will also be dancing with the amazing Ohio State Club Dance Team!!! ~~> follow her team on Instagram at osuclubdanceteam

What has dance done for you?!~~ “confidence in everything I do plus memories and friendships that will last a lifetime ”

Reagan brings a fun energy to the studio and is loved by her peers, her teachers and dance parents. She has been a great mentor to our younger students. We know she’ll come back often but will definitely be missed as a daily figure at the studio!! Good Luck to you REAGAN!
