Our last but certainly not least Senior Spotlight is…🥁

Olivia C!🎓❤️

Hi, I’m Liv!

I’ll be attending the University of Delaware in the fall, where I plan to major in kinesiology and health sciences. Howell Dance Company has been such a huge part of my life as I started here when I was 3, began competing at 6, and it’s been a constant all the way through my senior year. In college, I’m hoping to join one of the club dance teams so I can continue doing what I love. The studio has been more than just a place to dance, it’s truly been my second home. My teammates, my teachers, and everyone who has been part of this journey are what I’ll miss the most. They’ve become like a second family to me, and I’ll always cherish the memories we’ve shared. I also want to thank my family, especially my mom, for always being there and making all of this possible. Leaving this chapter is really bittersweet, but I’m so excited for what’s ahead, and I can’t wait to come back and visit!

We’ll miss you Liv!😭 UDel is lucky to have you!💙💛

We will miss ALL our seniors SO much 😭 Congratulations Class of 2026!🎓🎉 Don’t worry, it’s not goodbye, It’s see you later! And remember, you always have a home at HDC! ❤️🖤

Our next Senior Spotlight is Bella C! 🎓❤️

Hi, I’m Bella!

This fall, I’ll be attending Quinnipiac University for their Doctorate of Occupational Therapy program! One of the things I’ll miss most about HDC is the incredible sisterhood I’ve been lucky to experience, including meeting my best friends and growing up alongside these amazing girls. I feel so lucky to have lifelong friends I can always call home. A big part of my experience at Howell Dance has come from the teachers. They’ve taught me so many things like teamwork, determination, and commitment that I can carry with me to college and use throughout my life! This studio will always hold a special place in my heart because it has truly shown me so many perspectives on life. Thank you, HDC, for helping me become the person I am today!
HDC power clap 1, 2, 3… 👏👏

Bella, We can’t it to see all the amazing things you do a QU! We will mis you!💙💛

Our next Senior Spotlight is Gianna! ❤️🎓

Hi I am Gianna!

I will be attending Monmouth University in the Fall and plan to study Early Childhood Education. I have danced at Howell Dance Company since I was 3 years old and have been on their competition team for the past 12 years. Howell Dance Company is not just my dance studio; it’s my home. The people are what I will miss most about leaving dance. Miss April, my HDC teachers, the HDC staff and my teammates. All of these individuals have become a second family to me. We have shared many laughs, funny moments and hotel stays. Dance has taught me how to be humble, to give grace as well as receive it. It has shown me that things do not come easily; you have to work hard for what you want in life. I also want to thank my Mom, without whom none of this would ever be possible. I love you all and am thankful to have such a supportive family to always come back to.

We will miss you, Gianna! 😭 We can’t wait to see what your future holds at MU! 💙🤍

Next up for our Senior Spotlight is…🥁

Maddie! 🎓❤️

Hi I’m Maddie and I will be attending Rutgers University, New Brunswick in the fall. I am majoring in biological sciences on a pre med track in hopes of becoming a Physicians Assistant. I have been apart of Howell Dance since I was 3 and started competing at the age of 8. This studio had become more than just a place that I dance at. I have learned how to grow, preserve, lead, and work as a team all thanks to the people I’ve surrounded myself with. What I will miss most about HDC is the connection that I have made with my best friends. They have become sisters and that is something that I will forever cherish. I’m so grateful for the experience that I have had here and couldn’t trade it for anything. Thank you HDC!!❤️❤️

Maddie, we can’t wait to see all the amazing things you’ll do in the future! 😭❤️🖤

Up next for our Senior Spotlight is Alexa! 🎓❤️

Hi I’m Alexa and I will be attending Loyola University Maryland in the fall. I am majoring in political science on a pre law track with a goal to be an attorney. I have been dancing at Howell Dance since i was three and have been competing since I was about seven. One thing I will miss most about HDC is the second family they have been. I am so excited for my next chapter but so thankful to always have a second home to come back to!

We will miss you so much!😭 We can’t wait to see what you do at Loyola University! 💚💛

Our next Senior Spotlight is Olivia L! 🎓❤️

Hi! I’m Olivia!

I’ll be attending Sacred Heart University Honors College in the Fall for Health Science with a concentration in public health administration with a minor in Neuroscience on a Pre-Med track! I’ll miss many things about HDC but one thing I will miss is all the girls who have become like sisters to me. I cherish every friendship dance has given me and I cannot wait to see the kids I have taught as a teachers assistant to grow up into amazing people and dancers. I am very fortunate enough to be able to continue my love for the performing arts as I am in the performing arts program at Sacred Heart!
